Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of serotonin. The regulated release of serotonin by a cell or group of cells. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT) is a monoamine synthesised in serotonergic neurons in the central nervous system, enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal tract and some immune system cells. Any biological process involved in the generation, transmission, reception, or interpretation of a signal. A signal is an entity used to transmit or convey information. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The process whereby a signal is secreted or discharged into the extracellular medium from a cellular source. The process whereby a signal is released and/or conveyed from one location to another. The regulated release of serotonin by a cell or group of cells, in which released serotonin acts as a neurotransmitter. The cellular process by which a physical entity or change in state, a signal, is created that originates in one cell and is used to transfer information to another cell. This process begins with the initial formation of the signal and ends with the mature form and placement of the signal. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of serotonin. The controlled release of a substance by a cell, a group of cells, or a tissue. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of serotonin. The directed movement of a substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, to a specific location within, or in the membrane of, a cell. The regulated release of serotonin by a cell or group of cells as part of an inflammatory response. The directed movement of monoamines, organic compounds that contain one amino group that is connected to an aromatic ring by an ethylene group (-CH2-CH2-), into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The controlled release of a substance by a cell. The directed movement of serotonin into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a monoamine neurotransmitter occurring in the peripheral and central nervous systems.
