2006, Progress in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :Collectively, the state of activation of a potentially diverse array of unknown trace amine-sensitive signaling proteins in the cells that possess GPCRs for dopamine and noradrenaline or other neurotransmitters may be susceptible to modulation by those trace amines. For example, in dopaminergic neurons of the SN, TYR and β-PEA have a depressant effect on the GABAB-mediated slow inhibitory Gαi/o protein-mediated inwardly-rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels within these neurons, by activating G proteins that interfere with the coupling between the GABAB receptors and GIRK channels (Federici et al., 2005; Berretta et al., 2005). It bears mentioning that all or any combination of these protean mechanisms, ionotropic, metabotropic, uptake/releasing effects, and/or changes in membrane phase, may be in operation to a lesser or greater extent at any dopamine, noradrenaline or serotonin synapse, and thus may contribute to the post-synaptic, electro-chemical responses to the trace amines.
