Dopamine hydrochloride is an endogenous neurotransmitter with sympathomimetic properties that is a potent agonist of the dopamine receptors DRD1-5. Increases heartbeat and blood flow to the body's tissues, also playing a role in reward-motivated behavior. Addictive drugs tend to increase dopamine activity, and multiple nervous system diseases are associated with its dysfunction, including Parkinson's and schizophrenia. Precursor in noradrenalin and adrenalin biosynthesis. Provided as 10 mg of dry powder. These highly purified, pre-validated control ligands have been used to qualify our InCELL Hunter, PathHunter and cAMP Hunter cell lines as well as our Assay Ready Kits. Ligands are conveniently supplied with a recommended reconstitution buffer. For detailed information and product-specific datasheet, visit www.discoverx.com/ligands.
