NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes the D5 subtype of the dopamine receptor. The D5 subtype is a G-protein coupled receptor which stimulates adenylyl cyclase. This receptor is expressed in neurons in the limbic regions of the brain. It has a 10-fold higher affinity for dopamine than the D1 subtype. Pseudogenes related to this gene reside on chromosomes 1 and 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
DRD5: Dopamine receptor whose activity is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. Defects in DRD5 are a cause of benign essential blepharospasm (BEB). BEB is a primary focal dystonia affecting the orbicularis oculi muscles. Dystonia is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contraction, often leading to abnormal postures. BEB usually begins in middle age. Initial symptoms include eye irritation and frequent blinking, progressing to involuntary spasms of eyelid closure. Patients have normal eyes. The visual disturbance is due solely to the forced closure of the eyelids. In severe cases, this can lead to functional blindness. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Product Notes
The Monkey DRD5 drd5 (Catalog #AAA745156) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA745156 ELISA Kit recognizes Monkey DRD5. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Dopamine Receptor D5, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
