    Activation of angiotensin II type 1 receptors increases D4 dopamine receptor expression in rat renal proximal tubule cells

    Both the dopaminergic and renin–angiotensin systems play important roles in the regulation of blood pressure. Our previous study showed that the stimulation of dopaminergic D4 receptors reduced angiotensin II typ...

    D3 dopamine receptor regulation of D5 receptor expression and function in renal proximal tubule cells

    Dopamine receptor, via D1-like and D2-like receptors, increases sodium excretion in kidney. We have reported positive interactions between D3 and D1 receptors in renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells. These reports, ...

    Role of Gα12- and Gα13-protein subunit linkage of D3 dopamine receptors in the natriuretic effect of D3 dopamine receptor in kidney

    The D3 dopamine receptor is the major D2-like receptor that regulates sodium transport in the renal proximal tubule (RPT) and helps maintain blood pressure in the normal range. In Wistar–Kyoto (WKY) rats chronica...

    Inhibitory effect of ETB receptor on Na+–K+ ATPase activity by extracellular Ca2+ entry and Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum in renal proximal tubule cells

    The kidney is important in the long-term regulation of blood pressure and sodium homeostasis. Stimulation of ETB receptors in the kidney increases sodium excretion, in part, by decreasing sodium transport in t...
