The <scene name='71/716548/5-ht1b/1'>5-HT1B receptor</scene> couples to G-protein alpha subunits Gi and Go. In the central nervous system, this receptor is an inhibitory presynaptic receptor that can alter the release of serotonin, as well as other neurotransmitters, from the presynaptic neuron. The structure of this receptor includes <scene name='71/716548/5-ht1b/ | The <scene name='71/716548/5-ht1b/1'>5-HT1B receptor</scene> couples to G-protein alpha subunits Gi and Go.
