Expressed in the brain cortex, in the caudate nucleus, the hyppocampus, the thalamus and the amygdala. Detected in the kidney and testis as well as in monocytes of the spleen, small and large intestine, uterus, prostate, ovary and placenta.
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Presumably retained within the endoplasmic reticulum unless complexed with HTR3A.
PMID: 10521471 by Dubin A.E., et al. The pharmacological and functional characteristics of the serotonin 5-HT(3A) receptor are specifically modified by a 5-HT(3B) receptor subunit.
PMID: 9950429 by Davies P.A., et al. The 5-HT3B subunit is a major determinant of serotonin-receptor function.
