Expression of the D2 subfamily of dopamine receptor genes in kidney

Abstract excerpt

The D2, D3, and D4 dopamine receptors cloned from brain correspond to the classically described "D2" receptors. Although radioligand binding and biochemical and functional studies have demonstrated the presence of D2-like receptors in the kidney, the expression of D2, D3, or D4 receptor genes has not been conclusively demonstrated in the kidney. Since Northern blot analysis may have precluded demonstration of...
