Induction of synapse formation by de novo neurotransmitter synthesis
Nature Communications, 2022 Neuronal communication relies on matching different neurostransmitter types with their appropriate receptors. The authors here demonstrate that release of a novel neurotransmitter from presynaptic terminals can induce both the accumulation and activation

Mechanism of Allosteric Modulation of the Cys-loop Receptors
Pharmaceuticals, 2010 The cys-loop receptor family is a major family of neurotransmitter-operated ion channels. They play important roles in fast synaptic transmission, controlling neuronal excitability, and brain function.

Glutamate at the Vertebrate Neuromuscular Junction: From Modulation to Neurotransmission
Cells, 2019 Although acetylcholine is the major neurotransmitter operating at the skeletal neuromuscular junction of many invertebrates and of vertebrates, glutamate participates in modulating cholinergic transmission and plastic changes in the last.

Ubiquitination of Neurotransmitter Receptors and Postsynaptic Scaffolding Proteins
Neural Plasticity, 2013 The human brain is made up of an extensive network of neurons that communicate by forming specialized connections called synapses. The amount, location, and dynamic turnover of synaptic proteins, including neurotransmitter receptors and synaptic ...

Altered expression of genes encoding neurotransmitter receptors in GnRH neurons of proestrous mice
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons play a key role in the central regulation of reproduction. In proestrous female mice, estradiol triggers the pre-ovulatory GnRH surge, however, its impact on the expression of neurotransmitter receptor genes ...

Possible involvement of neuropeptide and neurotransmitter receptors in Adenomyosis
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2021 Background Accumulating data indicate that sensory nerve derived neuropeptides such as substance P and calcitonin gene related-protein (CGRP) can accelerate the progression of endometriosis via their respective receptors, so can agonists to their ...
