Abstract excerpt
The large molecular diversity of receptors and their subtypes means that the pharmacologist is faced with many puzzling characterization questions. First, the molecular diversity of the receptors is deciphered only in part by a pharmacological approach, which precludes a satisfactory receptor classification based solely on pharmacological characteristics. Second, the physiological counterpart of the numerous...
