MeSH Heading: Neuroendocrine Cells
Tree Number(s): A11.382.944
Unique ID: D055099
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D055099
Annotation: coordinate with specific organ
Scope Note: Specialized NEURONS that produce hormones, such as NEUROPEPTIDES or BIOGENIC AMINES. They generally are in the NERVOUS SYSTEM, such as HYPOTHALAMUS, but can be found in other organs or systems. These neurons contain dense neurosecretory granules and PROPROTEIN CONVERTASES allowing the rapidly release of NEUROHORMONES into the blood circulation upon stimulation.
Entry Term(s): Endocrine Neurons
