Description

5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 1F (htr1f) is a gene that encodes a protein that binds to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, cognition, and appetite. The htr1f gene is located on chromosome 5q11.2 in humans and has been studied extensively for its role in various neuropsychiatric disorders.

Mutations in the htr1f gene have been linked to several psychiatric disorders, including:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Schizophrenia
  • Autism spectrum disorder
