Gene Information

mouse ... Drd4(13491)

Specificity

Specific for Dopamine Receptor D4. Mouse Dopamine receptor D4 is a 387 aa, G-protein coupled and transmembrane receptor protein (Van Tol et al. 1992; Legerski & Peterson 1992; Livingstone et al. 1992; Seeman et al. 1994). The immunogen peptide shows no significant homology with other dopamine receptors (D1, D2, D3 or D5).

SPECIES REACTIVITIES: The immunogen peptide shows sequence homology of 90% with rat and human D4 receptors (Van Tol et al. 1992; Legerski & Peterson 1992; Livingstone et al. 1992; Seeman et al. 1994; O′Malley et al. 1992). Antibody cross-reactivity with D4R from various species is not known.

Immunogen

A 10 amino acid peptide sequence from the mouse D4 receptor within the 3rd extracellular domain.
Epitope: extracellular domain

Application

Anti-Dopamine D4 Receptor Antibody, extracellular domain is an antibody against Dopamine D4 Receptor for use in ELISA & WB.

The murine D4 dopamine receptor was isolated from a murine genomic DNA library. 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

Dopaminergic pathways that influence mood and behaviour are severely affected in cerebral hypoxia. In contrast, hypoxia promotes the differentiation of dopaminergic neurons. In order to clarify the hypoxic sensitivity of key dopaminergic genes, we aimed to study their transcriptional regulation

Pharmacological studies suggest that dopamine release from lateral olivocochlear efferent neurons suppresses spontaneous and sound-evoked activity in cochlear nerve fibers and helps control noise-induced excitotoxicity; however, the literature on cochlear expression and localization of dopamine receptors is contradictory.

The dopamine D4 receptor structurally and pharmacologically resembles the dopamine D2 and D3 receptors. Clozapine, an atypical antipsychotic that is relatively free of the adverse effects of drug-induced parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia, binds to the D4 receptor with an affinity
