GPR37 surface expression enhancement via N-terminal truncation or protein-protein interactions.

Nov 2009 GPR37, also known as the parkin-associated endothelin-like receptor (Pael-R), is an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that exhibits poor plasma membrane expression when expressed in most cell types. We sought to find ways to enhance GPR37 ... Read more...

Ex vivo [11C]-(+)-PHNO binding is unchanged in animal models displaying increased high-affinity states of the D2 receptor in vitro.

30 Oct 2009 Dopamine (DA) D2 receptor supersensitivity has been linked to an increase in the density of the D2 high-affinity state as measured in vitro. The two- affinity-state model of the D2 receptor predicts that the ex vivo specific binding of ... Read more...

Dopamine D2 receptor knockout mice develop features of Parkinson disease.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: This study questions whether increased dopamine (DA) turnover in nigral neurons leads to formation of Lewy bodies (LBs), the characteristic alpha-synuclein-containing cytoplasmic inclusion of Parkinson disease (PD). METHODS: Mice with ... Read more...
