Product Description
DARPP-32 Antibody | 50-201 | ProSci
Host: Rabbit
Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Dog, Zebrafish, Bovine, Chicken, Frog
Homology: N/A
Immunogen: Peptide corresponding to amino acid residues from the N-terminal region of rat DARPP-32, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) .

BACKGROUND: DARPP-32 is a dopamine (DA) and cAMP-regulated ~32k phosphoprotein that is associated with dopaminoceptive neurons (Fienberg et al., 1998) . The protein inhibits Protein Phosphatase I when it is phosphorylated on Thr34. In contrast, when DARPP-32 is phosphorylated on Thr75 the protein acts as an inhibitor of PKA (Bibb et al., 1999) . Phosphorylation of DARPP-32 is thought to play a critical role in the regulation of dopaminergic neurotransmission. In addition, the activity of DARPP-32 is also thought to play important roles in the actions of alcohol, caffeine and Prozac® (Maldve et al., 2002; Lindskog et al., 2002; Svenningsson et al., 2002) .
