Journal ArticleDOI

Inositol trisphosphate, a novel second messenger in cellular signal transduction.

TL;DR: Diacylglycerol operates within the plane of the membrane to activate protein kinase C, whereas inositol trisphosphate is released into the cytoplasm to function as a second messenger for mobilizing intracellular calcium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of a cannabinoid receptor and functional expression of the cloned cDNA

TL;DR: The cloning and expression of a complementary DNA that encodes a G protein-coupled receptor that is involved in cannabinoid-induced CNS effects (including alterations in mood and cognition) experienced by users of marijuana are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity of G proteins in signal transduction.

TL;DR: The heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins acting as switches that regulate information processing circuits connecting cell surface receptors to a variety of effectors generate the pathways that modulate cellular responses to complex chemical signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synuclein: a neuron-specific protein localized to the nucleus and presynaptic nerve terminal

TL;DR: An antiserum against purified cholinergic synaptic vesicles from Torpedo and expression screening was used to isolate a cDNA clone encoding synuclein, a 143 amino acid neuron-specific protein that is expressed only in nervous system tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a family of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor genes

TL;DR: Analysis of human and rat genomic clones indicates that there are at least four functional muscarinic receptor genes and that these genes lack introns in the coding sequence.
