Abstract excerpt
Dopamine (DA) controls a wide variety of physiological functions in the central nervous system as well as in the neuroendocrine and gastrointestinal systems. DA signaling is mediated by five cloned receptors named D1-D5. Knockout mouse models for the five receptors have been generated, and, albeit impaired for some important DA-mediated functions, they are viable and can reproduce. D1 and D2 receptors are the...
