Non-noradrenergic, non-cholinergic transmitter

Group of signaling molecules in the gut

A non-noradrenergic, non-cholinergic transmitter (NANC) is a neurotransmitter of the enteric nervous system (ENS) that is neither acetylcholine, norepinephrine, nor epinephrine.

Comparison table

This table compares different NANCs in the PNS:

Neurotransmitter	Type	author=Rang, H. P.	title=Pharmacology
ATP	non-peptide	postganglionic sympathetic neurons (e.g. in blood vessels & vas deferens)	Fast depolarization/contraction (vasoconstriction)
GABA	non-peptide	ENSs	peristalsis
5-HT	non-peptide	ENSs	peristalsis
dopamine	non-peptide	some SNSs (e.g. kidney)	vasodilation
NO	non-peptide	gastric nerves & Pelvic Nerve
NPY	peptide	postganglionic sympathetic neurons (e.g. blood vessels)
VIP	peptide
GnRH	peptide	sympathetic ganglia
substance P	peptide
CGRP	peptide	non-myelinated sensory neurons
