[From phylogenesis to physiology: dopamine receptors].

Abstract excerpt

Communication between neurones requires specialised proteins called receptors which fix the neuromediator (e.g. dopamine) and transmit a message to the cell interior. For a given neuromediator there exist several types and subtypes of receptors, which make up multigenic families. These gene families have come to be thanks to successive duplications of one initial gene in the course of evolution. Thus dopamine...
