Effects of guanine nucleotides on N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-ligand interactions.

abstract：:It has long been believed that the cortical actin cytoskeleton plays an important role in regulating the secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters. In this study, we investigated the control of actin dynamics in primary neuroendocrine cells and determined the relationship of actin dynamics to various components of t...
