Neurotransmitter Receptors and Intracellular Signaling Proceedings of the Ninth Workshop on Neurotransmitters and Diseases, Yokohama, June 13, 1992 - International Congress

Recently, reports on how information is transmitted to the cell following the activation of transmitter receptors by transmitters themselves have accumulated rapidly; thus research in this area has made remarkable progress.;This volume presents current developments in the field of signal transduction, covering such topics as: membrane receptors with internal ion channels receiving extracellular signals delivered to the cell by neurotransmitters; GTP-binding proteins functioning as signal transducers in membranes; phospholipase C as one of the effectors responsible for the intracellular (or second) messenger generation; and mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ by the representative second messenger, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate.;The new findings presented during this workshop should contribute to further advances by providing exciting scientific stimuli to scientists in this field of research.
