Biogenic amines released from cells

Reuptake transporters are structures within the cell membranes of the presynaptic nerve terminal that serve to transport biogenic amines released from vesicles back into the nerve cell. These structures are targets for antidepressants, which block the transporter, thus increasing the bioavailability of neurotransmitters at postsynaptic receptors. 

Neurotransmitter and biogenic amine derived from the amino acid histidine synthesized in hypothalamic tuber-omamillary neurons (TMN) to maintain wakefulness, feeding rhythms, energy balance, neuroendocrine autonomic control, and memory functions prominent immu-nomodulator and proinflammatory signal released from mast cells in response to allergic reactions or tissue damage. 

The precise mechanisms by which phencyclidine causes its clinical effects have not been fully delineated. Phencyclidine blocks the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and thereby calcium influx into cells. Phencyclidine inhibits the biogenic amine reuptake complex and thereby inhibits norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake. Phencyclidine also increases adrenergic activity by indirectly releasing norepinephrine from presynaptic neurons. Phencyclidine in high doses stimulates sigma receptors.
