Dopamine Polyclonal, anti-human

Description: Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter expressed mainly in the brain that activates dopamine receptors. Dopamine is also a neurohormone released by the hypothalamus. Its chemical name is 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzene-1,2-diol, and its main function is to inhibit the release of prolactin from the anterior lobe of the pituitary. Dopamine can be used as a sympathomimetic drug because it produces effects such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. Changes in Dopamine concentration within the brain may explain symptoms observed in individuals with Schizophrenia, and a reduction in its concentration is associated with Parkinson's disease.Localization: secretedDilution: 50-200Positive Control: adrenal tissue HIER: citrate pH6.0 or EDTA pH8.0Status: RUO
