Amine storage and function in peptide hormone-producing cells

Invest Cell Pathol. 1980 Jan-Mar;3(1):87-103.

Abstract

The occurrence of arylethylamines and histamine in normal and neoplastic peptide hormone producing cell types is described. The evidence for their role in hormone formation, storage and release is reviewed.
