    Upregulation of Src Family Tyrosine Kinases in the Rat Striatum by Adenosine A2A Receptors

    Adenosine A2A receptors are Golf-coupled receptors and are predominantly expressed in the striatum of mammalian brains. As a mostly postsynaptic receptor, A2A receptors are implicated in the regulation of a varie...

    The Role of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases (ERK) in the Regulation of mGlu5 Receptors in Neurons

    The metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor 5 is a G protein-coupled receptor and is densely expressed in the mammalian brain. Like other glutamate receptors, mGlu5 receptors are tightly regulated by posttransl...

    Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors Inhibit Fyn Activity in the Rat Striatum In Vivo

    The Src family kinase (SFK) is a subfamily of non-receptor tyrosine kinases. SFK members, Src and especially Fyn, are expressed in the striatum. These SFK members are involved in the regulation of neuronal and...

    Synaptic ERK2 Phosphorylates and Regulates Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 In Vitro and in Neurons

    A synaptic pool of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) controls synaptic transmission, although little is known about its underlying signaling mechanisms. Here, we found that synaptic ERK2 directly bi...

    Antagonism of Dopamine D2 Receptors Alters Phosphorylation of Fyn in the Rat Medial Prefrontal Cortex

    Several Src family kinase (SFK) members are expressed in the mammalian brain and serve as key kinases in the regulation of a variety of cellular and synaptic events. These SFKs may be subject to the modulation...

    Antagonism of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors Alters Synaptic ERK Phosphorylation in the Rat Forebrain

    Acetylcholine (ACh) is a key transmitter in the mesocorticolimbic circuit. By interacting with muscarinic ACh receptors (mAChR) enriched in the circuit, ACh actively regulates various neuronal and synaptic act...

    Synaptically Localized Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases: Local Substrates and Regulation

    Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are expressed in postmitotic neurons and act as important regulators in intracellular signaling. In addition to their nuclear distribution and roles in regulating gene...

    Stability of surface NMDA receptors controls synaptic and behavioral adaptations to amphetamine

    This study shows that chronic amphetamine exposure in rats downregulates the NMDA receptor NR2B subunit on striatal neurons. This loss of NR2B has consequences for synaptic transmission and for behavior, sensi...

    Group I Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor-mediated Gene Expression in Striatal Neurons

    Group I mGluRs (mGluR1/5) are G-protein-coupled receptors and are abundantly expressed in most of medium spiny projection neurons in the striatum. Recent evidence demonstrates that group I mGluRs are among ess...
