Abstract
Few, if any, receptor systems have moved from initial discovery to detailed molecular characterization as quickly as the serotonin 5-HT1C receptor. This rapid progress was triggered by the timely coincidence of a series of discoveries and developments, some taken from quite different fields of science, culminating in the recent molecular cloning of this receptor. These findings will be recounted in roughly historical order in this short review, with an emphasis on functional responses of the 5-HT1C receptor.
