Abstract excerpt
Two isoforms of the dopamine D2 receptor, D2L (long) and D2S (short), differ by the insertion of a 29-amino acid specific to D2L within the putative third intracellular loop of the receptor. Here, we examined D2 receptor-mediated MAPK activation in association with receptor internalization. Overexpression of beta-arrestin 1 and 2 increased the D2S-mediated activation of MAPK, whereas it did not affect the...
