Vesicular and plasma membrane transporters for neurotransmitters.
The regulated exocytosis that mediates chemical signaling at synapses requires mechanisms to coordinate the immediate response to stimulation with the recycling needed to sustain release. Two general classes of transporter contribute to release, one located on synaptic vesicles that loads them with transmitter, and a second at the plasma membrane that both terminates signaling and serves to rec...
متن کاملPlasma membrane and vesicular monoamine transporters in normal endometrium and early pregnancy decidua.
The uterus is innervated by adrenergic sympathetic fibres, and the endometrium has a capability for endogenous monoamine synthesis. Extracellular monoamine levels are regulated primarily through re-uptake by specific membrane-bound transporter proteins dopamine transporter (DAT), norepinephrine transporter (NET) and serotonin transporter (SERT). Intracellular storage of monoamines involves vesi...
متن کاملPlasma Membrane Transporters in Modern Liver Pharmacology
The liver plays a crucial role in the detoxification of drugs used in the treatment of many diseases. The liver itself is the target for drugs aimed to modify its function or to treat infections and tumours affecting this organ. Both detoxification and pharmacological processes occurring in the liver require the uptake of the drug by hepatic cells and, in some cases, the elimination into bile. ...
متن کاملMembrane receptors for hormones and neurotransmitters
Receptors for peptide hormones and neurotransmitters are integral components of the plasma membrane of cells which serve to couple the external milieu to the intracellular regulators of metabolism. These macromolecules are usually high molecular weight glycoproteins, and in many cases appear to have more than one subunit capable of binding the hormone. The interaction of the hormone or neurotra...

developed that BNP1 might have alternative, or at least additional roles. First, mutations in a BNP1 homolog in C. elegans (eat-4) were noted to cause presynaptic An essential step in chemical synaptic transmission in-deficits in glutamatergic transmission (Berger et al., volves concentration of neurotransmitter into synaptic 1998). Second, immunocytochemical studies of BNP1 vesicles, allowing ...
