Bücher der Reihe The Receptors

This book is intended as a scientific resource for cannabinoid researchers carrying out animal and human experiments, and for those who are interested in learning about future directions in cannabinoid research.

The study of these molecules, which may well include such diverse items as the receptors for hormones, neurohumors, pheromones, taste, and many other chemical signals, have a great deal in common, so that the student of any one of them will wish to know the status of research about the others.

This insightful and comprehensive book covers nearly every aspect of glutamate receptor structure and function for the working researcher and student.

The Gaba Receptors, Third Edition, presents a critical appraisal of our current understanding of the molecular, behavioral, biochemical, clinical, and pharmacological properties of GABA receptors.

This insightful and comprehensive book covers nearly every aspect of glutamate receptor structure and function for the working researcher and student.

A comprehensive overview of nicotinic receptors that addresses their history from crystal structure to behavior as well as their implications in disease and potential as therapeutic targets.

Serotonin (5-HT) was isolated and chemically characterized nearly four decades ago, and is now generally accepted to function as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulatory agent. As the first of what we can expect to be a steady stream of monographs focusing on 5-HT receptors, the book confirms that we are in an exciting time in the history of 5-HT.

This volume, new to The Receptors series, focuses on several areas, including the birth, maturation, and structure of Chemokines; In particular the book contains cutting-edge information ranging from basic molecular and cellular mechanisms to physiological and pathological roles of chemokines.

Part of Springer's "The Receptors," series, this text is the first ever overview on the research of 5-HT2c receptors. 5-HT2c is a prominent central serotonin receptor subtype widely expressed within the central and the peripheral nervous system and is thought to play a key role in the regulation of numerous behaviors.

Research on muscarinic receptors is advancing at an extraordinary rate. The discovery that pirenzepine recognized apparent heterogeneity in muscarinic binding sites infused new life into the problem of subclassifying muscarinic receptors.

This comprehensive review deals with all aspects of Tachykinin receptors in particular, and with neuropeptide/peptide and G-protein linked receptors in general. This book should be of interest to pharmacologists, neuroscientists, biochemists, toxicologists, and molecular and cellular biologists.

A comprehensive and up-to-date review of all literature concerning metabotropic glutamate receptors. It covers the molecular biology, pharmacology, anatomical distribution, and physiological and pathological roles of these receptors.

A state-of-the-art summary from leading laboratories around the world of our current knowledge of the molecular biology, the physiology, and the pharmacology of the P2 receptors.

Fifteen contributed articles by investigators survey the dramatic increase in the understanding of receptor action that has resulted from the recent cloning of numerous ionotropic glutamate receptor subunits.

Roger Cone and a distinguished team of expert investigators provide the first major treatment of this critically important receptor family. Topics include the characterization of the melanocortin receptors, the biochemical mechanism of receptor action, and receptor function and regulation.

As sites of action for drugs used to treat schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease, dopamine receptors are among the most validated drug targets for neuropsychiatric disorders.

A state-of-the-art summary from leading laboratories around the world of our current knowledge of the molecular biology, the physiology, and the pharmacology of the P2 receptors.
