D2/D3 dopamine receptor heterodimers exhibit unique functional properties.
Evidence for heterodimerization has recently been provided for dopamine D(1) and adenosine A(1) receptors as well as for dopamine D(2) and somatostatin SSTR(5) receptors. In this paper, we have studied the possibility that D(2) and D(3) receptors interact functionally by forming receptor heterodimers. Initially, we split the two receptors at the level of the third cytoplasmic loop into two frag...
متن کاملGhrelin amplifies dopamine signaling by cross talk involving formation of growth hormone secretagogue receptor/dopamine receptor subtype 1 heterodimers.
Our objective is to determine the neuromodulatory role of ghrelin in the brain. To identify neurons that express the ghrelin receptor [GH secretagogue receptor (GHS-R)], we generated GHS-R-IRES-tauGFP mice by gene targeting. Neurons expressing the GHS-R exhibit green fluorescence and are clearly evident in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, cortex, and midbrain. Using immunohistochemistry in combin...
متن کاملPhysicochemical properties analysis and dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) docking of zotepine as an atypical antipsychotic antagonist
The main purpose of the present investigation is the study of therapeutically effect of Zotepine in schizophrenia disease treatment. In first step, the molecular structure of the said compound is optimized using density functional theory (DFT) technique by B3LYP functional method at 6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Then the electronic properties of the title molecule are calculated using frontier...
متن کاملUnique properties of a renal sulfotransferase, St1d1, in dopamine metabolism.
Although catecholamine sulfation is higher in the kidney than in the liver of mice, no detectable amounts of previously reported sulfotransferases (STs) such as St1a, St1b, St1c, and St1e were expressed in mouse kidney cytosols. A new sulfotransferase (St1d1) cDNA was isolated from kidney cDNA library of BALB/c strain by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) using information ...
