neurotransmitter
|
A chemical substance released from neurons in synapses that binds to corresponding receptors on nearby cell surfaces (post synaptic membrane) causing a physiological stimulus in form of a membrane current (triggering action potentials) or second messenger cascade activating channels, pumps, kinases, or proteases. The molecular mechanisms of activation are similar to those of hormones.
