Abstract excerpt
We investigated the influence of an epitope from the third intracellular loop (ic3) of the dopamine D(2) receptor, which contains adjacent arginine residues (217RRRRKR222), and an acidic epitope from the C-terminus of the dopamine D(1) receptor (404EE405) on the receptors' localization and their interaction. We studied receptor dimer formation using fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Receptor proteins were...
