All characterized monoaminergic cells utilize the same transport system for the vesiular
accumulation of monoamines prior to their release. This system operates in neuronal
(catecholaminergic, serotoninergic serotoninergic or histaminergic) as well as in endocrine
or neuroendocrine cells. For several decades, choromaffin granules from bovine adrenal
medulla have been used as a model system, allowing progress in the understanding of the
biophysics, the biochemistry and the pharmacology of the monoamine vesiular transporter …
