title: Neurotransmitters co-existing with VIP or PACAP.
abstract: It is now recognized that a neuron can produce, store and release more than one transmitter substance, and a number of examples of co-existing transmitters, particularly a neuropeptide together with a classical transmitter, have been reported. The present paper deals with transmitter substances, peptides or classical transmitters, co-existing with the two structurally related peptides VIP and PACAP and the possible functional implications of this co-existence.
