Why would the closure of a potassium channel in the presynaptic axon terminal change the amount of Ca2︎ entering and change the amount of neurotransmitter released? Serotonin(5-HT) receptor on the sensory axon terminals is a G-protein-coupled metabotropic receptor. Stimulation of this receptor leads to the production of intracellular second messengers‚ cAMP‚ which
