5 Hydroxytryptamine

Chemists called it 5-hydroxytryptamine after its molecular structure. ❋ Gary Greenberg (2010)

A recent report indicated that a binding receptor for cis-UCA has been identified as the neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5HT (Serotonin) [54]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Serotonin, also known as 5-HT (short for 5-hydroxytryptamine), is found in the gut, brain, nerves and blood of humans and other animals. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Finally a terminology error for the Times editors: 5HTT stands for 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, constricts these vessels, relieving migraine pain. ❋ Unknown (2008)
