Protein phosphorylation in the brain.

E J Nestler, P Greengard

    Nature
    |October 13, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Protein phosphorylation is key to understanding neurophysiology. Injecting protein kinases or inhibitors into neurons confirms their essential role in processing external signals and reveals specific substrate proteins involved in neuronal responses.
