Enables G protein-coupled serotonin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral fear response; regulation of serotonin secretion; and serotonin receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in axon hillock. Predicted to be active in GABA-ergic synapse; dendrite; and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; exocrine gland; eye; genitourinary system; and intestine. Used to study anxiety disorder.
