= 5-HT2C receptor
{c}
A <serotonin receptor> subtype implicated in particular local circuits, including some threat-related extended-amygdala pathways.
It is a <G protein-coupled receptor> commonly linked to Gq-family signalling. Its contribution to behaviour depends on which <cells> express it and which local circuit receives the signal; <receptor> identity alone does not predict one universal behavioural effect. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapters 3, 6 and 15, protein function, translation and cell signalling]{ref}
