5HT (Serotonin) 1F Receptor, 5HT1F R

5HT1F, a Serotonin Receptor, is a member of the GPCR family (subfamily: Serotonin). Expression of 5HT1F has been reported in various brain structures, including cortex, hippocampus, trigeminal ganglia, and cerebral blood vessels. Expression in peripheral tissues is limited to uterus, mesentery, and artery. No expression has been detected in heart, kidney, liver, pancreas, or spleen.Selective 5-HT1F agonists may prove therapeutic in the treatment of migraine headache, lacking the side effects associated with the agonists of the 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors.
