Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) is an important biogenic amine that functions as both a neurotransmitter and a hormone in the central nervous system (CNS) and the periphery. We report here the isolation of a cDNA from the OK cell that encodes a serotonin receptor (OKc1). When expressed in cultured cells, it displayed the pharmacological profile and negative coupling with adenylyl cyclase characteristic of a 5-HT1B receptor subtype. Similar to the cloned rodent 5-HT1B receptors, it had high affinity for the beta-adrenergic ligand [125I]iodocyanopindolol, because of the presence of an asparagine instead of a threonine residue in the seventh transmembrane region. The ligands used displayed the following rank order of potencies: cyanopindolol > RU24969 > methiothepin > serotonin > sumatriptan > methysergide > 8-OH-DPAT > isoproterenol. This profile correlates well (r = 0.97) with the native OK cell 5-HT1B receptor. When OKc1 is compared to the rat, mouse, and human 5-HT1B receptors, it has an amino acid sequence identity of 82%, but it is only 54% identical to the human 5-HT1D receptor.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
D008024	Ligands	A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed)	Ligand

D009893	Opossums	New World marsupials of the family Didelphidae. Opossums are omnivorous, largely nocturnal and arboreal MAMMALS, grow to about three feet in length, including the scaly prehensile tail, and have an abdominal pouch in which the young are carried at birth.	Didelphidae,Opossum
D011985	Receptors, Serotonin	Cell-surface proteins that bind SEROTONIN and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells.
