Abstract
Recently, molecular cloning has confirmed and extended our knowledge of the heterogeneity of 5-HT receptors. Besides creating some confusion, molecular techniques have provided new tools to study the function of 5-HT receptors. Recent results gained from targeted disruption of the genes encoding the 5-HT1B and 5-HT2C receptors have provided confirmation of pharmacological studies as well as unexpected effects. Such ‘constitutive knockouts’ might undergo compensatory changes during their development that could confound the interpretation of the mutant phenotype. New strategies are currently being developed that may enable receptor expression to be turned on and off at will in specific tissues.
