5-HT5 receptor

The 5-HT5 receptor is a type of protein in the brain that responds to serotonin, a chemical involved in mood, sleep, and other functions. It helps regulate how neurons communicate, influencing feelings and mental processes. Although less well-known than other serotonin receptors, the 5-HT5 receptor plays a role in mood regulation and may be linked to conditions like depression or anxiety. Researchers study it to understand brain function better and develop potential treatments for mental health disorders. Its activity is part of the complex system that balances our emotional and neurological health.
