Factors affecting solubilization of the D1 receptor from bovine caudate nucleus. 1985

G M Ross, and S Bajwa, and R K Mishra

The D1 dopamine receptor was identified using the dopamine agonist 3H-ADTN. The ability of various detergents to solubilize this receptor from bovine caudate nucleus was examined. In order to maintain high affinity binding, receptors were solubilized in the presence of dopamine and manganese. GPP(NH)P reduced the yield of soluble receptors. Of the detergents tested, n-octyl-B-D-glucopyranoside gave the best yield of receptors capable of binding 3H-ADTN and related compounds with high affinity.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008345	Manganese	A trace element with atomic symbol Mn, atomic number 25, and atomic weight 54.94. It is concentrated in cell mitochondria, mostly in the pituitary gland, liver, pancreas, kidney, and bone, influences the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides, stimulates hepatic synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids, and is a cofactor in many enzymes, including arginase and alkaline phosphatase in the liver.

D004298	Dopamine	One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.

D006165	Guanylyl Imidodiphosphate	A non-hydrolyzable analog of GTP, in which the oxygen atom bridging the beta to the gamma phosphate is replaced by a nitrogen atom. It binds tightly to G-protein in the presence of Mg2+. The nucleotide is a potent stimulator of ADENYLYL CYCLASES.
