  1. Dopamine receptor protein by: vicky s. wang

  2. Amino acid sequence • Dopamine is derived from the amino acid tyrosine.

  3. Biodegradation of dopamine Dopamine receptor

  4. Dopamine has the chemical formula C6H3(OH)2-CH2-CH2-NH2.

  5. Primary Primary Structure

  6. Other levels

  7. The D2 dopamine receptor is an important for the treatment therapeutic target of psychotic, agitated, and abnormal behavioral states. What does it do?

  8. What does it do? • Dopamine is the precursor to norepinephrine and epinephrine, which are Catecholamines.The function of dopamine is diverse but plays a large role in the pleasure/reward pathway (addiction and thrills), memory, and motor control.

  9.  Low dopamine levels can cause depression, loss of motor control, loss of satisfaction, addictions, cravings, compulsions, poor attention and focus. When dopamine levels are elevated symptoms may manifest in the form of anxiety, paranoia, or hyperactivity. • dopamine dysfunction is implicated not only in drug addiction, which involves excessive desire, but in schizophrenia and some phobias, which involve excessive fear. Low dopamine levels …..

  10. Other organisms that use dopamine • Use of dopamine for shock in neonates • All animals

  11. I chose the dopamine receptor protein because it has to do with happiness levels and is associated with some mental diseases

  12. Dopamine receptor pictures

  13. How to increase dopamine levels • Food sources of dopamine increasing tyrosine include almonds, avocados, bananas, dairy products, lima beans, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds. • Dopamine is easily oxidized. Foods that are rich in antioxidants such as fruits and vegetables may help protect dopamine-using neurons from free radical damage. Many healthcare professionals recommend supplementing with vitamins C, vitamin E, and other antioxidants.
