DOPA, a compound that is essential for dopamine production in the brain. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter that ...

A protein called PARIS is known as a key factor in driving Parkinson's disease because it slows the production of another protein that normally shields dopamine-producing neurons. Now researchers at ...

One way or another, many psychiatric drugs work by binding to receptor molecules in the brain that are sensitive to the neurotransmitter dopamine, a chemical signal that is central to how our ...

Dopamine receptors are a class of G-protein-couple receptors which span cell membranes to facilitate signal transduction and multiple functions of the cell. G-protein coupled receptors, or GPCRs, also ...

A new study has identified a promising drug candidate to minimize uncontrolled, erratic muscle movements, called dyskinesia, associated with Parkinson's disease. A new study from Texas Biomedical ...

Researchers have determined the crystal structure of a specific dopamine receptor called D4 at an incredibly high resolution. One way or another, many psychiatric drugs work by binding to receptor ...
