The monoamine neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin, is derived from tryptophan and is synthesized both centrally and systemically.
14 structurally and functionally distinct receptor subtypes have been identified for serotonin, each mediating the action of neurotransmitters via a series of downstream signaling molecules and effectors.
Although most commonly described for its role in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric and mood disorders, serotonin is involved in many basic physiological processes including apoptosis, mitochondrial biosynthesis, cell proliferation, and migration. increase. Its role as a neurotransmitter is also manifested in pathogenic conditions ranging from anorexia nervosa to cancer.
This requires an understanding of the signaling mechanisms underlying the serotonergic system, which has led to the creation of an integrated pathway map that provides resources for future biomedical research in this pathway.
Using a rigorous set of NetPath annotation criteria, we manually curated the molecular responses associated with serotonin and its receptors from the published literature. Response categories included molecular association, activation/inhibition, post-translational modification, transport, and gene regulation at the transcriptional and translational levels.
