A non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism of the human serotonin 5-HT<sub>2C</sub> receptor (5-HT<sub>2C</sub>R) gene that converts a cysteine to a serine at amino acid codon 23 (Cys23Ser) appears to impact 5-HT<sub>2C</sub>R pharmacology at a cellular and systems level. We hypothesized that the Cys23Ser alters 5-HT<sub>2C</sub>R intracellular signaling via changes in subcellular localization in vitro. Using cell lines stably expressing the wild-type Cys23 or the Ser23 variant, we show tha ...[more]
