5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR4 gene.[5][6]

Function

This gene is a member of the family of human

neurotransmitters. Multiple transcript variants encoding proteins with distinct C-terminal sequences have been described, but the full-length nature of some transcript variants has not been determined.[7]

Location

The receptor is located in the

In the CNS the receptor appears in the putamen, caudate nucleus, nucleus accumbens, globus pallidus, and substantia nigra, and to a lesser extent in the neocortex, raphe, pontine nuclei, and some areas of the thalamus. It has not been found in the cerebellum.[9]

Isoforms

Internalization is isoform-specific.[10]

Ligands

Several drugs that act as 5-HT4 selective agonists have recently been introduced into use in both scientific research and clinical medicine. Some drugs that act as 5-HT4 agonists are also active as 5-HT3 antagonists, such as mosapride, metoclopramide, renzapride, and zacopride, and so these compounds cannot be considered highly selective. Research in this area is ongoing.[11] Amongst these agonists prucalopride has >150-fold higher affinity for 5-HT4 receptors than for other receptors.

carbon-11 is used as a radioligand for 5-HT4 in positron emission tomography pig[12]
and human[13] studies.
