5-Hydroxytryptamine, Glutamate, and ATP: Much More Than Neurotransmitters
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is derived from the essential amino acid L-tryptophan. Although the compound has been studied extensively for its neuronal handling and synaptic actions, serotonin 5-HT receptors can be found extra-synaptically and not only in ...
