Specialiserade nervceller som producerar hormoner, så som neuropeptider eller biogena aminer. De finns vanligen i nervsystemet, som t ex hypotalamus, men kan påträffas i andra organ. Dessa nervceller innehåller täta neurosekretoriska korn och proproteinkonvertaser som vid stimulering snabbt åstadkommer frisättande av neurohormoner i blodomloppet.
Specialized NEURONS that produce hormones, such as NEUROPEPTIDES or BIOGENIC AMINES. They generally are in the NERVOUS SYSTEM, such as HYPOTHALAMUS, but can be found in other organs or systems. These neurons contain dense neurosecretory granules and PROPROTEIN CONVERTASES allowing the rapidly release of NEUROHORMONES into the blood circulation upon stimulation.
