Term Name: Gq/11-coupled serotonin receptor activity
Synonyms: 5-HT2 receptor activity, serotonin receptor activity, coupled via Gq/11
Definition: Combining with serotonin and transmitting the signal across the membrane by activation of the Gq/11 subunit of an associated cytoplasmic heterotrimeric G protein complex. The Gq/11 subunit subsequently activates phospholipase C and results in an increase in inositol triphosphate (IP3) levels.
