Psychiatry related information on Drd4

 

High impact information on Drd4

  • Biochemical analyses revealed that dopamine synthesis and its conversion to DOPAC were elevated in the dorsal striatum from D4R-/- mice [5].
  • Although less active in open field tests, D4R-/- mice outperformed wild-type mice on the rotarod and displayed locomotor supersensitivity to ethanol, cocaine, and methamphetamine [5].
  • The modulation by D4 ligands of the dark level of light-sensitive cAMP in photoreceptors demonstrates the physiological coupling of the D4 receptor subtype [6].
  • Of the known Ptx-sensitive G-protein alpha subunits, MN9D-expressed Galphai2, GalphaoA, and GalphaoB; however, none of these coupled to the D4 receptor [7].
  • Although striatal dopamine contents and tyrosine hydroxylase-positive midbrain neurons were reduced to the same extent in both genotypes, Drd4(-/-) mice lesioned with 6-OHDA did not develop hyperactivity [3].

Other interactions of Drd4

  • Immunohistochemical study and RT-PCR analysis revealed the expression of the D2 receptor in the basal epidermis and the D4 receptor in the uppermost layer of the epidermis [18].
  • The receptor's entire coding region was contained within a 6 kb EcoRI genomic fragment, indicating that the murine D4 receptor gene is significantly smaller than the corresponding D2 and D3 receptor genes, the coding regions of which each stretch over 30 kb [10].
  • To investigate whether other dopamine receptor subtypes regulate NF-kappaB, we established NG108-15 cells stably expressing D3R, D4R and D5R (NGD3R, NGD4R and NGD5R) [16].
  • A dopamine D2/D4 receptor agonist, quinpirole, reduced cAMP levels in dark-adapted normal retinas in vitro, but not in rds/rds retinas [19].
  • In vitro, L-745,870 (0.1-1 microM) exhibited D4 receptor antagonist activity, reversing dopamine (1 microM) mediated 1) inhibition of adenylate cyclase in hD4HEK and hD4CHO cells; 2) stimulation of [35S] GTPgammaS binding and 3) stimulation of extracellular acidification rate, but did not exhibit any significant intrinsic activity in these assays [20].
