BDNF: neurotrophin, acts by binding to cell receptors TrkB ("Track B") and LNGFR (low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor, or p75) and modulating transmission

Vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT): a transport protein integrated into the membrane of intracellular vesicles of presynaptic neurons, to transport monoamines into the synaptic vesicles
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) increase the extracellular level of the neurotransmitter serotonin by inhibiting its reuptake into the presynaptic cell

Neurotransmitters
Acetylcholine
Glutamate most common 90%
GABA, gamma aminobutyric acid common
Acetylcholine
Epinephrine or Adrenaline:hormone and neurotransmitter, produced increases heart rate, contracts blood vessels, dilates air passages and participates in the fight-or-flight response of the sympathetic nervous system
Norepinephrine or NE or Noradrenaline
Glycine: an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS, especially in the spinal cord, brainstem, and retina
Substance P: an undecapeptide, neuropeptide functions as a neurotransmitter and as a neuromodulator, found in the brain and spinal cord, and is associated with inflammatory processes and pain
neurotransmitters uptake / degrade
Monoamine_oxidase (MAO):a family of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of monoamines, found bound to the outer membrane of mitochondria
Catechol-O-methyl transferase:one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine

Metabotropic receptor
Ionotropic receptor
G protein coupled receptor (GPCRs)
Ligand gated ion channel (LGIC)
Glutamate_receptor
Metabotropic glutamate receptor
NMDA receptor: ionotropic glutamate receptor, noted for voltage-dependent activation, a result of ion channel block by extracellular Mg2+ ions
AMPA receptor: non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptors, mediates fast synaptic transmission in CNS
Kainate receptor: non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptors
Receptor_tyrosine_kinase
GABA_receptor
GABA A receptor: ionotropic, ligand gated
GABAB receptor: metabotropic
Glycine_receptor
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor: metabotropic
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor: ionotropic
Serotonin receptor, 5-HT 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors a group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) except 5-HT3 receptor, a ligand-gated ion channel
Adrenergic receptor: class of G protein-coupled catecholamine receptors, (esp. norepinephrine and epinephrine), not dopamine (also a catecholamine)
Dopamine receptor:
Histamine receptor: G protein-coupled receptors with histamine as their endogenous ligand
Cannabinoid receptor type 1, (CB1) widely expressed G protein-coupled receptors, act as endocannabinoid-mediated depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition, common plasticity
