Abstract excerpt
The role of oligomerization in D1 dopamine receptor trafficking to the cell surface was examined using conformationally distinct variants of this receptor. Substitution of the highly conserved aspartic acid (Asp103) in transmembrane domain 3 resulted in a constitutively active receptor, D103A, that did not bind agonists or antagonists but trafficked to the cell surface as oligomers. Coexpression of D103A with the...
