Ionotropic: binding of neurotransmitters opens ion channel. 2. Metabotropic: binding of neurotransmitters induces the production of “second- messenger” molecules, which can: - open or close ion channels; - produce metabolic effects; - act on gene regulation in nucleus. What are the different types of receptors based on location? 1. Postsynaptic receptors; 2. Presynaptic receptors (heteroreceptors): respond to different neurotransmitters; . . .
