TL;DR
Observations indicate that serotonin actions might involve the cAMP system, as seen in applying serotonin.
Abstract
Serotonin receptors incorporated in the membrane of Xenopus oocytes injected with mRNA extracted from the rat brain was investigated by intracellular recording. Serotonin elicited the membrane depolarization accompanied with membrane potential fluctuations. This serotonin action was suppressed by serotonin antagonists such as methysergide, cyproheptadine and ketanserin. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP and papaverine depolarized the membrane as seen in applying serotonin. These observations indicate that serotonin actions might involve the cAMP system.

The limited correlation of drug effects with regulation by guanine nucleotides suggests that serotonin 1 sites might be linked to adenylate cyclase and drug specificities of serotonin-elicited synaptic inhibition and excitation may reflect serotonin 1 and serotonin 2 receptor interactions.

Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with poly(A)+ mRNA extracted from rat brain became sensitive to serotonin, glutamate, kainate, acetylcholine and γ-aminobutyrate, and it appears that mRNA from rat head contains translationally active messengers which code for various neurotransmitter receptors.
