SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endoplasmic reticulum

basic FUNCTION	activating the phosphatidylinositol cycle
	mediating its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger
	system
	HTR2B, HTR2C receptors on motoneurons become constitutively active after injury and ultimately contribute to recovery of motoneuron function and emergence of spasms
