I tried searching for an image of it (5HT1 receptor) on Google, without success. The phrase "5HT1 receptor" produced 367 Google search results. Adding the further search parameters, aimed at finding image files: filetype:GIF OR filetype:JPG OR filetype:TIF , produced zero results. Using instead the additional parameter filetype:PDF produced 33 results by way of PDF files, some of which might just include an image of its structure.

The 5HT1 receptor is the main receptor for LSD and similar ergot alkaloids. Agonists against it are used for treating pain and reducing disability, as in migraine.
