摘要：

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. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
