The 5-HT(7) receptors (5-HT(7)Rs) are the most recent classified members of the serotonin family. Characterized in 1993, they belong to the G protein-coupled receptor family. Since their discovery, they have been the subject of intense research due to their widespread distribution in the brain, suggestive of multiple central roles. The focus of this review is to discuss the literature concerning recent advances on 5-HT(7)Rs and their ligands.
5-羟色胺(7)受体(5-HT(7)Rs)是血清素家族中最新分类的成员。它们于1993年被鉴定出来,属于G蛋白偶联受体家族。自发现以来,由于其在大脑中广泛分布,提示具有多种中枢作用,它们一直是深入研究的对象。本综述的重点是讨论有关5-HT(7)Rs及其配体的最新进展的文献。
