Data Sheet
Background: GPR88 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) considered as a promising therapeutic target for neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, anxiety, and addiction. The biological effects of GPR88 activation and signal transduction pathway are still unknown due to the lack of a selective agonist appropriate for in vivo investigation.
Application: Functional assays
