5-HT4 receptor

The 5-HT4 receptor is a type of protein found in the nervous system, especially in the brain and digestive tract. It responds to serotonin, a chemical involved in mood, digestion, and other functions. When activated, 5-HT4 receptors can help improve memory, mood, and support healthy movement of food through the gut. Because of these roles, they are targeted by certain medications to treat conditions like depression, constipation, or cognitive issues. Overall, 5-HT4 receptors play a key part in regulating mental health and digestive processes.
