The effects of serotonin and five other indoles were tested on the electrical parameters and ionic transport in the isolated toad lens. Serotonin, tryptophan and 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan did not affect the electrical parameters of the lens at concentrations as high as

Incubation of blowfly salivary gland homogenates with 30 microM [gamma-32P]ATP resulted in a rapid, Mg2+-dependent, synthesis of [32P]polyphosphoinositides and [32P]phosphatidic acid. 5-Methyltryptamine, in the presence of 10 microM guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)trisphosphate, reduced the net accumulation of 32P label into phosphatidylinositol-4,5-P2 and

Stimulation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) by muscarinic cholinergic and serotoninergic agonists was measured in rat brain cortical membranes by using exogenously supplied substrates. Serotonin, tryptamine, 5-fluorotryptamine and 5-methyltryptamine stimulated PLC with EC50 values of 1.7, 11.2, 15.0, and 29.4

One of the major pathways for neurotransmitter signaling involves phosphoinositide-specific and G-protein-dependent phospholipase C-beta (PLC-beta), which stimulates the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Serotonergic and muscarinic-cholinergic signals in the brain are largely mediated through the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides by
