Data Sheet
Background: The human dopamine receptor D1 (DRD1 or D1) is a G-protein- coupled receptor. It is expressed most abundantly in the brain areas such as caudate, nucleus accumbens and olfactory tubercle. The D1 receptor regulates neuronal growth and development, mediates some behavioral responses, and modulates dopamine receptor D2-mediated events.
Application: Functional assays
Figure 1. Dose-dependent stimulation of calcium flux upon treatment with ligand, monitored with FlexStation. Figure 2. Dose-dependent increase of intracellular cAMP level upon treatment with ligand, measured with cAMP HiRange kit (Cisbio 62AM6PEC). Figure 3. Receptor expression on cell surface measured by flow cytometry (FACS) using an anti-FLAG antibody. Thin line: parental cells; thick line: receptor-expressing cells.
