Receptor–Receptor Interactions of G Protein-Coupled Receptors in the Carotid Body: A Working Hypothesis

In the carotid body (CB), a wide series of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators have been identified. They are mainly produced and released by type I cells and act on many different ionotropic and metabotropic receptors located in afferent nerve fibers, type I and II cells.
