The 5-HT3 channel is a ligand gated ion channel receptor of the cys-loop channel family. It is a pentamer with five subunits surrounding a central channel1.Methyl Serotonin (2-Methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine hydrochloride) is an agonist of 5-HT3 receptors with an effective concentration of 0.5-50 µM and an IC50 of 3.1±0.9 µM and also a potent ligand of the 5-HT6 receptor, member of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. Methyl Serotonin mimics the action of 5-HT although it displays a low affinity to 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptors. Methyl Serotonin was found to stimulate the hydrolysis of phosphoinositide in rat brain tissue2. In a study conducted in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells, Methyl Serotonin elicited inward ion currents that were only 19.9±2.4% of currents elicited by regular Serotonin binding. These currents increase with higher concentration of Methyl serotonin. Desensitization of the 5-HT receptor after Methyl Serotonin binding was slower than equivalent Serotonin binding3.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLead time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-2 Business Days\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Israel\/IL\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eApplications key\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplication key: FC- Flow cytometry, IFC- Indirect flow cytometry, IHC- Immunohistochemistry,LCI- Live cell imaging, Calcium imaging assay,Cell survival assay, Electrophysiology, Neurite outgrowth assay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBioassay tested:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alomone Labs","offers":[{"title":"10 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53249711309165,"sku":"M-170-10MG-1","price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53311565726061,"sku":"M-170-25MG-1","price":219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53311565758829,"sku":"M-170-5MG-1","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53311565791597,"sku":"M-170-50MG-1","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/M-170_gr.gif?v=1778544437","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/2-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine-hydrochloride-bhb21300219","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
