A '''monoamine receptor''' is a [[receptor (biochemistry)|receptor]] for the [[monoamine neurotransmitter]]s and/or [[trace amine]]s, [[endogenous]] [[small-molecule]] [[signaling molecule]]s with a [[monoamine]] [[chemical structure|structure]]. The monoamine receptors are almost all [[G protein-coupled receptor]]s, with the [[serotonin]] [[5-HT3 receptor|5-HT<sub>3</sub> receptor]] being a notable exception as a [[ligand-gated ion channel]].<ref name="MartinScahill2010" />

Monoamine receptors include the following:
==List of receptors==
Monoamine receptors include the following classes:
* [[Adrenergic receptor]]s – bound by [[epinephrine]] (adrenaline) and [[norepinephrine]] (noradrenaline)
* [[Adrenergic receptor]]s – bound by [[epinephrine]] (adrenaline) and [[norepinephrine]] (noradrenaline)
* [[Dopamine receptor]]s – bound by [[dopamine]]
* [[Dopamine receptor]]s – bound by [[dopamine]]
* [[Histamine receptor]]s – bound by [[histamine]]
* [[Melatonin receptor]]s – bound by [[melatonin]]
* [[Melatonin receptor]]s – bound by [[melatonin]]
* [[Serotonin receptor]]s – bound by [[serotonin]] (5-HT)
* [[Serotonin receptor]]s – bound by [[serotonin]] (5-HT)
* [[Trace amine-associated receptor]]s – bound by monoamineneurotransmitters, [[traceamine]]s, and [[thyronamine]]s
* [[Trace amine-associated receptor]]s – bound by [[trace amine]]s, [[thyronamine]]s, [[monoamine neurotransmitter]]s ([[TAAR1]] only), and [[trimethylamine]] ([[TAAR5]] only)
Monoamine receptors are the [[biological target]]s of many [[drug]]s.
[[Histamine]] is a [[diamine]] and hence the [[histamine receptor]]s are not technically monoamine receptors, although the monoamine and histamine receptors may be appropriately grouped together as [[biogenic amine receptor]]s.

Notes: (1) TAAR1 activity of ligands varies significantly between species. Some agents that are TAAR1 ligands in some species are not in other species. This navbox includes all TAAR1 ligands regardless of species. (2) See the individual pages for references, as well as the List of trace amines, TAAR, and TAAR1 pages.
