5-HT3 receptor (HTR3A)

Short target page →

The serotonin receptor on the gut's vagus nerve endings and in the brainstem vomiting centre that chemotherapy triggers. Ondansetron and palonosetron block it, the foundation of modern anti-sickness treatment. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
