Ketamine has received a Hollywood makeover. It used to be known as a rave drug (street name special K) and cat anesthetic.

For example, membrane receptors bind and respond to specific molecules outside the cell, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, the extracellular matrix, and attachment molecules on other cells.
