Adrenergic Neurotransmission

Molecular classification
Neurotransmission pathway, Signaling pathway
01

Overview

Adrenergic neurotransmission refers to the process by which nerve cells communicate using catecholamine neurotransmitters—primarily norepinephrine (noradrenaline), epinephrine (adrenaline), and, to a lesser extent, dopamine. These neurotransmitters are released from adrenergic neurons and bind to adrenergic receptors on target cells, mediating various physiological processes, including cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, and central nervous system functions. Dysfunctional adrenergic signaling is implicated in diseases ranging from depression/anxiety disorders to heart failure.
