Definition:
Neurotransmitters are nerve-secreted substances that mediate the stimulatory or inhibitory neuronal functions through binding to their respective receptors. Typical neurotransmitters include glutamate, dopamine, γ-aminobutyric acid and acetylcholine. Neurotransmitters can affect immune cells and endothelial cells in the tumor microenvironment to promote tumor progression.
