@article{Qi2014LarvaeOT,  title={Larvae of the small white butterfly, Pieris rapae, express a novel serotonin receptor},  author={Yi-xiang Qi and Ren-ying Xia and Ya-su Wu and David Stanley and Jia Huang and Gōngy{\'i}n Y{\`e}},  journal={Journal of Neurochemistry},  year={2014},  volume={131},  pages={767 - 777},  url={https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:21621635}}
It is inferred that Pr5‐HT8 represents the first recognized member of a novel 5‐HT receptor class with a unique pharmacological profile and is likely to be an invertebrate‐specific receptor because there were no similar receptors in mammals.

Identification and Pharmacological Characterization of Two Serotonin Type 7 Receptor Isoforms from Mythimna separata

This study is the first comprehensive characterization of two splicing isoforms of 5- HT7 receptors in M. separata, and the first to demonstrate that alternative splicing is also the mechanism for producing multiple 5-HT7 isoforms in insects.

Molecular characterisation and developmental expression analysis of the 5-HT7 receptor in Chrysopa formosa.

It is suggested that the 5-HT7 receptor plays a pivotal role in regulating development and diapause processes in C. formosa, offering new insights into the molecular mechanisms governing insect life cycle transitions.

Identification and functional characterisation of 5-HT4 receptor in sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka)

Experiments demonstrated that treatment with 5-HT triggered a significant increase in intracellular cAMP level in a dose-dependent manner and induced a rapid internalisation of Aj5-HT4R fused with enhanced green fluorescent protein from the cell surface into the cytoplasm.

A new family of insect muscarinic acetylcholine receptors

It is suggested that CG12796 represents the first recognized member of a novel mAChR class, which is a metabotropic G‐protein‐coupled receptor that is coupled to Gq/11 but not Gs and Gi/o.

Pharmacological characterization and functional roles of the 5‐HT7 receptor for pheromone sensitivity and mating in Helicoverpa armigera

Serotonin (5‐hydroxytryptamine, 5‐HT) is an important biogenic amine in insects, which regulates and controls many important physiological and behavioral processes by binding to different G…

Phenylethylamides derived from bacterial secondary metabolites specifically inhibit an insect serotonin receptor

This study reports the first 5HT receptor from S. exigua and provides its specific inhibitor designed from bacterial metabolites and their derivatives, screened with respect to cellular immune responses associated with Se-5HTR.

Molecular Cloning and Expression Analysis of 5-hydroxytryptamine Receptor 7 in Ant Polyrhachis vicina Roger (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

The results suggest that the Pv5-HT7 receptor may have specific functions in regulating the development of P. vicina, especially in adult formation and caste differentiation, feeding and caring behaviors of workers in the nest, and in theDevelopment of motor organs and mating behaviors in males.

Invertebrate serotonin receptors: a molecular perspective on classification and pharmacology

An overview of heterologously expressed receptors is provided, which considers evolutionary relationships among them, classification based on these relationships and nomenclature that reflects classification, and transduction pathways and pharmacological profiles are compared.

Identification, functional characterization, and pharmacological profile of a serotonin type-2b receptor in the medically important insect, Rhodnius prolixus

A separate serotonin receptor type may mediate cardiomodulatory effects controlled by serotonin in R. prolixus, which shares sequence similarity to the vertebrate serotonin type 2 receptors, and a distinct agonist/antagonist profile is indicated.
