Inhibition of AMPA receptor endocytosis could help treat addiction to heroin. Van den Oever et al. have used a rat model to demonstrate that the link between re-exposure to preconditioned stimuli ...

It is well established that, in many instances, ligand binding to a receptor triggers the internalization ... By contrast, the bulk of endocytosis is often viewed as a constitutive process that ...

One key process in maintaining this equilibrium is endocytosis, the mechanism by which membrane components are internalised. Organisms have evolved various endocytic pathways, all relying on ...

it sometimes requires an additional factor such as a protein that is a receptor for a specific chemical serving as a "named ...
