Function | G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone and a mitogen (PubMed:10821780, PubMed:16102731, PubMed:35714614, PubMed:9603189). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors (PubMed:16102731, PubMed:35714614). HTR4 is coupled to G(s) G alpha proteins and mediates activation of adenylate cyclase activity (PubMed:16102731, PubMed:35714614). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endosome membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97288}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Interaction with SNX27 mediates recruitment to early endosomes, while interaction with NHERF1 and EZR might target the protein to specialized subcellular regions, such as microvilli. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97288} |
Tissue Location | [Isoform 5-HT4(A)]: Expressed in ileum, brain, and atrium, but not in the ventricle. [Isoform 5-HT4(I)]: Expressed in all cardiovascular tissues analyzed. |

Background
This is one of the several different receptors for 5- hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase.
