  • Title: Expression of norepinephrine and serotonin transporter mRNAs in the rat superior cervical ganglion.
    Author: Nishimura M, Sato K, Shimada S, Tohyama M.
    Journal: Brain Res Mol Brain Res; 1999 Apr 06; 67(1):82-6. PubMed ID: 10101235.
    Abstract:
    We investigated the gene expression of three monoamine transporters (norepinephrine transporter, NET; serotonin transporter, SERT; and dopamine transporter, DAT) in the rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG). Most of principal ganglion neurons abundantly expressed NET mRNA. In addition, about 30% of principal ganglion neurons also expressed SERT mRNA. However, DAT mRNA expression was not observed there. These results suggest that serotonin as well as norepinephrine works as a neurotransmitter in a subset of principal ganglion neurons.
