Hypofunction of the serotonin (5-HT) 5-HT<sub>2C</sub> receptor (5-HT<sub>2C</sub>R) has been implicated in a variety of disorders including substance use disorders. As such, approaches to enhance 5-HT<sub>2C</sub>R signaling display therapeutic potential. In the present study, we show that disruption of the 5-HT<sub>2C</sub>R interaction with the protein phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) <i>via</i> peptidomimetics enhances 5-HT<sub>2C</sub>R-mediating signaling <i>in vitro</i> and potentiat ...[more]
