| HTR2C

5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C(HTR2C) is a subtype of the 5-HT2 receptor that binds the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). Like all 5-HT2 receptors, it is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is coupled to Gq/G11 and mediates excitatory neurotransmission.5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C is one of the many binding sites for serotonin. Activation of this receptor by serotonin inhibits dopamine and norepinephrine release in certain areas of the brain.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (ng/mL)	20	10	5	2.5	1.25	0.625	0.312	0
OD	2.52	1.96	1.38	0.97	0.55	0.31	0.19	0.08
Corrected OD	2.44	1.88	1.3	0.89	0.47	0.23	0.11	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Rat HTR2C spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Tissue Homogenates(n=8)	92-105	102

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Rat HTR2C and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Tissue Homogenates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	88-96
	Average (%)	93
1 : 4	Range (%)	87-108
