5HT1D receptors are found at low levels in the basal ganglia (globus pallidus, substantia nigra, caudate putamen), the hippocampus, and in the cortex.[6]
5HT1D receptor is aG protein linked receptor that activates anintracellular messenger cascade to produce an inhibitory response by decreasing cellular levels of cAMP.[7][8] The 5HT1D is a7-TM receptor. A large intercellular loop between TM-5 and TM-6 is believed to be associated with coupling to a second messenger. Agonists might bind in a manner that utilizes anaspartate residue in TM-3 and residues in the TM-4, TM-5 and TM-6.[9] A human clone containing an intronlessopen reading frame was found to encode 377 amino acids of the 5HT1D receptor. The gene has been localized on chromosome 1, region 1p34.3-36.3[10][11]
Molecular modelling has provided a picture of theagonistic binding site of 5HT1D. Theamino acid residues within the receptor binding site region have been identified. This is a valuable guide to design potential 5HT1D receptor agonists.Whensumatriptan binds there is major conformational change in both ligand and receptor in the binding pocket.[12]
