EndoNet ID: ENR00361

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be: 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like

If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Synonyms

  • serotonin receptor 4
  • 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 4
  • 5-ht-4R

General information

  • In Alzheimer Desease, reduced densities of 5-HT4 receptors have been found in the hippocampus and neocortex. [1]
  • 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) increases human heart rate and atrial contractile force and hastens atrial relaxation through 5-HT4 receptors. [2]
  • The highest densities of 5-HT4 receptors within the CNS are located in limbic regions, including the hippocampus, frontal cortex and amygdala, regions of the brain commonly associated with learning and memory. [3]
  • Within the hippocampus, 5-HT4 receptors are located on CA1 pyramidal neurones. [3]

Anatomical structures with this receptor

  • cell_of_adrenal_gland_zona_glomerulosa

    Influences

    • positive aldosterone
      • Released by mast cells in the vicinity of glomerulosa cells, 5-HT stimulates aldosterone secretion through activation of 5-HT4 receptors positively coupled to adenylyl cyclase and calcium influx. [4]

  • cell_of_adrenal_gland_zona_fasciculata

    Influences

    • positive cortisol
      • Serotonin-induced stimulation of cortisol secretion from human adrenocortical tissue is mediated through activation of a serotonin4 receptor subtype. [5]

  • atrium_of_heart

  • caudate_nucleus

  • putamen

  • hippocampus

    Influences

    • positive sAPPalpha
      • Activation of the human 5-HT(4) receptor stimulates the secretion of the non-amyloidogenic soluble form of the amyloid precursor protein (sAPPalpha). 5-HT enhanced the level of secreted sAPPalpha in a time- and dose-dependent manner in Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing the h5-HT(4) receptor isoform. [6]

  • amygdaloid_body

  • frontal_lobe

    Influences

    • positive acetylcholine
      • The stimulation of 5-HT4 receptors increase the cortical ACh release in the frontal cortex. [7]
      • Stimualted 5-HT4 receptors increase the extracellular concentration of ACh in the frontal cortex. [8]

  • corpus_striatum

  • nucleus_accumbens

    Influences

    • positive cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript protein
      • Stimulation of the 5-HT4 receptors mediate an increase in the mRNA levels of the CART protein in the nucleus accumbens. [9]

  • substantia_nigra

    Induced phenotypes

    • optpkinetic behavior
      • The expression of the 5-HT 4 receptors in the basal ganglia and substantia nigra indicates a role in the control of visuo-motor activity. [10]
