Molecular Control of Serotonin (5HT) Synthesis and Release.
Abstract
This research investigated the mechanisms controlling serotonin release via activation of alpha 1 adrenergic receptors. Since these receptors have been linked to phosphoinositide second messengers, norepinephrine signals for serotonin release can be differenced by separate receptors and second messengers from those for serotonin metabolism. In addition, NE-mediated serotonin release can be modulated by intrinsic peptide whose specific mRNA's have been identified in pineal tissue. Keywords: Neurochemistry, Nerve cells. (AW)
