a(CHEBI:anandamide) regulates bp(GO:"chemical synaptic transmission, postsynaptic") View Subject | View Object

There is evidence that anandamide is produced by postsynaptic neurons in response to elevated intracellular Ca2+ levels. For instance, concomitant activation of alpha7 nAChRs and NMDA receptors triggers the production of anandamine in postsynaptic neurons (448). Anandamine, then, functions as a retrograde messenger and regulates synaptic transmission by interacting with specific receptors in the presynaptic neurons/terminals (498). PubMed:19126755
