Abstract
The D2 dopamine receptor is known to be functionally coupled when expressed in CHO cells, whereas the effector systems for the D3, dopamine receptor remain unclear. A chimeric, human D3/D2 receptor (hD3/D2) was constructed containing the third intracellular loop region of the D2 receptor. CHO cells stably expressing the D2, D3, or hD3/D2 receptors were created and the pharmacology of the receptors was examined. The chimeric hD3/D2 receptor retained D3‐like affinities for dopaminergic ligands. However, in contrast to the D2 receptor neither the D3 receptor nor the hD3/D2 receptor could functionally couple to the adenylate cyclase or arachidonic acid release mechanisms.Keywords
