Rabbit Anti-DARPP-32, phosphorylated (Thr34) (Dopamine and cAMP-regulated Phosphoprotein, Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 1B, PP1R1B)

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 Thr-34. In contrast, when DARPP-32 is phosphorylated on Thr-75 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).

Applications
