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 ...

Emerging Roles of Cholinergic Receptors in Schwann Cell Development and Plasticity
Biomedicines, 2022 The cross talk between neurons and glial cells during development, adulthood, and disease, has been extensively documented. Among the molecules mediating these interactions, neurotransmitters play a relevant role both in myelinating and non-myelinating ...

GABA increases electrical excitability in a subset of human unmyelinated peripheral axons [PDF]
, 2010 A proportion of small diameter primary sensory neurones innervating human skin are chemosensitive. They respond in a receptor dependent manner to chemical mediators of inflammation as well as naturally occurring algogens, thermogens and pruritogens.

Cell-surface translational dynamics of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014 Synapse efficacy heavily relies on the number of neurotransmitter receptors available at a given time. In addition to the equilibrium between the biosynthetic production, exocytic delivery and recycling of receptors on the one hand, and the endocytic ...

Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Antipsychotic-Induced Parkinsonism
Biomedicines, 2022 Among neurological adverse reactions in patients with schizophrenia treated with antipsychotics (APs), drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is the most common motility disorder caused by drugs affecting dopamine receptors.

Basic Concepts in G-Protein-Coupled Receptor Homo- and Heterodimerization
The Scientific World Journal, 2007 Until recently, heptahelical G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) were considered to be expressed as monomers on the cell surface of neuronal and non-neuronal cells.

Presynaptic mechanisms determining the dynamic range of neurotransmitter release in the lateral amygdala [PDF]
, 2008 The amygdala is a central brain structure receiving sensory information from diverse regions of the central nervous system. Cortical and thalamic axons converge to the lateral amygdala (LA) which is thought to be the main site for fear-induced ...

Molecular pharmacology of AMPA receptor trafficking proteins - TARPs - evidence for an association with 5HT(_2c) receptors [PDF]
, 2009 There has been an increasing awareness of the involvement of neurotransmitters other than serotonin in depression, with new antidepressants possessing effects on other receptor types, such as Agomelatine®, an antagonist of 5HT(_2c) receptors that ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. A various of neurotransmitter receptors have been found to be expressed in tumor cells, and the activation of these receptors may promote tumor growth and metastasis ...
