5-HT₁ receptor

The 5-HT₁ receptors are a subfamily of the 5-HT serotonin receptors that bind to the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT).^[1] The 5-HT₁ subfamily consists of five G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are coupled to G_i/G_o and mediate inhibitory neurotransmission, including 5-HT_1A, 5-HT_1B, 5-HT_1D, 5-HT_1E, and 5-HT_1F. There is no 5-HT_1C receptor, as it was reclassified as the 5-HT_2C receptor.^{[citation needed]} For more information, please see the respective main articles of the individual subtypes:
