The 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C (HTR2C), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), plays a critical role in regulating neurotransmitter signaling, particularly for serotonin (5-HT). It is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, including regions like the choroid plexus, hippocampus, and hypothalamus, where it modulates diverse physiological processes such as appetite, mood, cognition, and sleep-wake cycles. HTR2C activates intracellular signaling pathways (e.g., phospholipase C-IP3) upon serotonin binding, influencing neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity. Dysregulation of HTR2C is linked to neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and obesity, making it a therapeutic target for drug development.
Recombinant HTR2C protein is engineered using heterologous expression systems (e.g., mammalian, insect, or bacterial cells) to produce purified, functional receptors for structural and functional studies. These systems enable high-yield production of the receptor, often tagged with fluorescent or affinity markers to facilitate purification and detection. Recombinant HTR2C retains post-translational modifications (e.g., glycosylation) critical for ligand binding and receptor trafficking when expressed in mammalian cells. Researchers utilize this protein to investigate receptor-ligand interactions, screen potential drugs, and study signaling mechanisms. Notably, HTR2C exhibits unique RNA editing variants in vivo, which alter receptor activity; recombinant versions allow systematic analysis of these isoforms.
Recent advances in cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography have leveraged recombinant HTR2C to resolve its 3D structure, providing insights into ligand-binding pockets and activation dynamics. Such work supports the design of selective agonists/antagonists, like lorcaserin (anti-obesity drug), while minimizing off-target effects on related receptors (e.g., HTR2B, associated with cardiac risks). Challenges remain in mimicking native receptor environments, but recombinant HTR2C remains indispensable for decoding serotonin signaling and advancing CNS therapeutics.
