[edit] Description
5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 1A is a 5-HT1 receptor. HTR1A denotes the human gene encoding it.<ref name="pmid2591972">Gilliam TC, Freimer NB, Kaufmann CA, Powchik PP, Bassett AS, Bengtsson U, Wasmuth JJ (November 1989). "Deletion mapping of DNA markers to a region of chromosome 5 that cosegregates with schizophrenia". Genomics 5 (4): 940–4. PMID 2591972.</ref><ref name="entrez">Template:Cite web</ref> 5-HT1A acts on the CNS, where it induces neuronal inhibition and controls behaviour, such as sleep, feeding, thermoregulation, aggression, anxiety.

The distribution of 5-HT1A receptors in the human brain may be imaged with the positron emission tomography using the radioligand [11C]WAY-100635.<ref name="pmid7498295">Pike VW, McCarron JA, Lammerstma AA, Hume SP, Poole K, Grasby PM, Malizia A, Cliffe IA, Fletcher A, Bench CJ (1995).

[edit] Genetics
The receptor is coded by the HTR1A gene. There are several human polymorphisms associated with this gene. A 2007 review listed 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP).<ref name="DragoA20075HT1A">Drago A, Ronchi DD, Serretti A (August 2008). "5-HT1A gene variants and psychiatric disorders: a review of current literature and selection of SNPs for future studies". Int. J. Neuropsychopharmacol. 11 (5): 701–21. doi: . PMID 18047755.</ref> The most investigated SNPs are C(-1019)G (rs6295) (C-1018G,<ref name="pmid10412191">Wu S, Comings DE (June 1999). "A common C-1018G polymorphism in the human 5-HT1A receptor gene". Psychiatr. Genet. 9 (2): 105–6. doi: .

The gene variants have been studied in relation to psychiatric disorders with no definitive results.<ref name="DragoA20075HT1A"/>
[edit] Function
This is one of the several different receptors for 5- hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity (By similarity)
