The role of receptor subtype diversity in the CNS.

Trends in neurosciences - 1 Jan 1990

Schofield P R, Shivers B D, Seeburg P H

Abstract excerpt

The molecular characterization of neuroreceptors and voltage-gated ion channels has revealed that receptor subtype heterogeneity is a common feature of chemical and electrical signal reception. The use of distinct genes encoding receptor subtypes is a favoured mechanism for generation of this diversity. We propose that the significance of the multiplicity and diversity of signal reception proteins is to increase...
