Outline of Final Research Achievements |
L-DOPA (DOPA) is generally considered to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease by its conversion to dopamine. We have proposed that DOPA is itself a neurotransmitter. However, specific receptors for DOPA have not been identified. In this study, we demonstrated that GPR143, the gene product of ocular albinism 1 (OA1), mediated DOPA-induced depressor and bradycardic response in the nucleus tractus solitarii. OA1 was expressed not only in the central nervous system such as substantia nigra, striatum, olfactory bulb, hypothalamic median eminence and lower brain stem, but also in peripheral tissues including liver, kidney, lung and spleen. These findings further add to the evidence for a neurotransmitter role for DOPA.
