Membrane Properties: Receptors

This inventory gives a complete overview of the main types of membrane receptors that have been identified for neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. Supporting data to fill the tables is still being added. The list of receptors for NeuronDB is a subset of this inventory. The inventory is based on Alexander & Peters (2000)
