Data Sheet

Background: G-protein coupled receptor 6 (GPR6) is mostly expressed in the basal ganglia’s striatopallidal neurons. GPR6 is an orphan G-protein coupled receptor that has a ubiquitous function and generates an increase in intracellular cAMP levels when it is linked to a stimulatory Gs-protein. GPR6 receptor, with highly restricted expression in dopamine receptor D2-type medium spiny neurons (MSNs) of the indirect pathway triggers interest of researchers as a novel non-dopaminergic drug target for Parkinson’s disease. Recently it was hypothesized that inhibition of GPR6 and D2 receptors coexpressed in the indirect pathway D2-type MSN antagonized each other with respect to cAMP modulation. 

Application: Functional assays
