Abstract excerpt
The relationships between -141C insertion/deletion (Ins/Del) polymorphisms in the dopamine D2 receptor gene and the two dopamine system integrators, i.e., dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein of molecular weight 32 kDa (DARPP-32) and calcineurin (CaN), are still unclear. In this study, we assessed the effect of this polymorphism on DARPP-32 and CaN protein expression in the postmortem striatum of patients...
