A molecular basis for selective antagonist destabilization of dopamine D3 receptor quaternary organization [PDF]
The dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is a molecular target for both first-generation and several recently-developed antipsychotic agents. Following stable expression of this mEGFP-tagged receptor, Spatial Intensity Distribution Analysis indicated that a ...

Dopamine Receptors and Neurodegeneration [PDF]
Dopamine (DA) is one of the major neurotransmitters and participates in a number of functions such as motor coordination, emotions, memory, reward mechanism, neuroendocrine regulation etc. DA exerts its effects through five DA receptors that are subdivided in 2 families: D1-like DA receptors (D1 and D5) and the D2-like (D2, D3 and D4). All DA receptors

Dopamine receptors antagonistically regulate behavioral choice between conflicting alternatives in C. elegans. [PDF]
Caenorhabditis elegans is a useful model to study the neuronal or molecular basis for behavioral choice, a specific form of decision-making. Although it has been implied that both D1-like and D2-like dopamine receptors may contribute to the control of ...

The Dopamine/Neuroleptic Receptor [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe neuroleptic/dopamine receptor, with its picomolar affinity for potent neuroleptics, is the functional dopamine receptor of the brain. This receptor has been termed the D2dopamine receptor, and it inhibits or interferes with dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase.

Dopamine D1 Receptor in Cancer [PDF]
Dopamine is a biologically active compound belonging to catecholamines. It plays its roles in the human body, acting both as a circulating hormone and neurotransmitter. It acts through G-protein-coupled receptors divided into two subgroups: D1-like receptors (D1R and D5R) and D2-like receptors (D2R, D3R, D4R).

Accumbal glycine modulates basal and ethanol-induced dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens (nAc) as well as voluntary ethanol consumption. Also, systemic administration of the glycine transporter-1 inhibitor Org25935 elevates dopamine levels in nAc ...

D1 dopamine receptor signaling is modulated by the R7 RGS protein EAT-16 and the R7 binding protein RSBP-1 in Caenoerhabditis elegans motor neurons. [PDF]
Dopamine signaling modulates voluntary movement and reward-driven behaviors by acting through G protein-coupled receptors in striatal neurons, and defects in dopamine signaling underlie Parkinson's disease and drug addiction.

What causes aberrant salience in schizophrenia? A role for impaired short-term habituation and the GRIA1 (GluA1) AMPA receptor subunit. [PDF]
The GRIA1 locus, encoding the GluA1 (also known as GluRA or GluR1) AMPA glutamate receptor subunit, shows genome-wide association to schizophrenia. As well as extending the evidence that glutamatergic abnormalities have a key role in the disorder, this ...

Cardiovascular Dopamine Receptors: Role of Renal Dopamine and Dopamine Receptors in Sodium Excretion [PDF]
Research efforts in the area of peripheral dopamine have now established the presence of two distinct subtypes--DA1 and DA2--of DA receptors, and have identified a potential role for dopamine produced within the kidney in the control of renal sodium excretion.
