Humana Neurotransmitter Transporters - 2nd Edition Book

Neurotransmission is a complex, multicomponent process involving transmitters, receptors, and specific transport proteins. While many texts focus on the receptor field, this second edition of Neurotransmitter Transporters: Structure, Function, and Regulation provides a specialized look at the removal of transmitters from the neuronal vicinity. This volume addresses the need for a centralized resource on transporter proteins, which are taken up into neuronal or glial cells. Because research on these proteins has been scattered across various publishing vehicles over the last 30 years, this book serves as a primary resource for understanding their uptake mechanisms. It is an essential addition for those studying the contemporary neuroscience of how neurotransmitters are regulated after release from nerve endings. This edition compiles vital information into a single, cohesive text for medical and scientific study.
