Abstract

Abstract The fourth edition of the Guide to Receptors and Channels is a compilation of the major pharmacological targets divided into seven sections: 7‐transmembrane receptors, ligand‐gated ion channels, ion channels, catalytic receptors, nuclear receptors, transporters and enzymes. These are presented with nomenclature guidance and summary information on the best available pharmacological tools, alongside suggestions for further reading.
