The Molecular Messenger and Nonmessenger Target System

A third conceptual approach, the one favored in this hook, is to focus on the biochemical and molecular processes of human disease. The authors call this system the Messenger and Mon-Messenger Target. System (MANMETS). It may be classified as follows  

Pituitary neurohormones Oxytocin and vasopressin Insulin and glucagon Renin-angiotensin hormones 

Voltage-gated ion channels Ligand-gated ion channels G-proteins 

Mitochondrial targets Rough endoplasmic reticulum Smooth endoplasmic reticulum 

Targeting DNA replication Targeting transcription Targeting translation Targeting mitosis/meiosis
