title: Receptors acting through adenylate cyclase in the CNS.
abstract: The author summarizes the current literature on neurotransmitters (dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin and histamine) acting through adenlyate cyclase and also those ating direcctly without the intermission of c-AMP. The criteria of receptor binding are also stressed. The characteristics of D1 and D2 dopaminergic, beta1 adrenergic, H1 and H2 histaminergic receptors, their localisation and specific antagonists resp. agonists are emphasized too. Finally a new model is presented where adenylate cyclase and ionophore share a common receptor.
