α1-Adrenergic Receptors in Neurotransmission, Synaptic Plasticity, and Cognition
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 α1-adrenergic receptors are G-Protein Coupled Receptors that are involved in neurotransmission and regulate the sympathetic nervous system through binding and activating the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine, and the neurohormone, epinephrine.

In VivoAdenovirus-Mediated Gene Transfer for Parkinson's Disease
Neurobiology of Disease, 1997 Gene therapy is a potentially powerful approach to the treatment of neurological diseases. Neurotransmitter synthesizing enzymes and neurotrophic factors inhibiting neurodegenerative processes provide the basis for current development of gene therapy ...

Phosphatidic acid and neurotransmission [PDF]
Advances in Biological Regulation, 2017 Lipids play a vital role in the health and functioning of neurons and interest in the physiological role of neuronal lipids is certainly increasing. One neuronal function in which neuronal lipids appears to play key roles in neurotransmission. Our understanding of the role of lipids in the synaptic vesicle cycle and neurotransmitter release is becoming

Identification of atropine-and P2X1 receptor antagonist-reistant, neurogenic contractions of the urinary bladder [PDF]
, 2007 Acetylcholine and ATP are excitatory cotransmitters in parasympathetic nerves. We used P2X1 receptor antagonists to further characterize the purinergic component of neurotransmission in isolated detrusor muscle of guinea pig urinary bladder.
