Cryo-EM structure of 5-HT3A receptor in its resting conformation

Serotonin receptor (5-HT3AR), a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel, regulates numerous gastrointestinal functions. Here the authors provide a cryo-electron microscopic structure from the full-length 5-HT3AR in the apo-state which corresponds to a resting conformation of the channel.
