Involuntary movements, or dyskinesia, represent a debilitating complication of levodopa (L-
dopa) therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) are ultimately …

Synaptic activity regulates the expression of a set of neuronal gene products that are
important for neuronal survival and differentiation, synaptogenesis and, ultimately, complex …

The dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) is a Gαs/olf-coupled GPCR that is expressed in the
midbrain and forebrain, regulating motor behavior, reward, motivational states, and cognitive …

The dynorphin/κ-opioid receptor system has been implicated in the pathogenesis and
pathophysiology of several psychiatric disorders. In the present review, we present evidence …

In order to identify genetic factors related to thyroid cancer susceptibility, we adopted a
candidate gene approach. We studied tag-and putative functional SNPs in genes involved in …

Changes in the intracellular concentration of calcium ions in neurons are involved in neurite
growth, development, and remodeling, regulation of neuronal excitability, increases and …

Calcium is the most universal signal used by living organisms to convey information to many
different cellular processes. In this review we present well-known and recently identified …

Transcriptional regulation is coupled with numerous intracellular signaling processes often
mediated by second messengers. Now, growing evidence points to the importance of Ca2+ …

The visinin-like protein (VSNL) subfamily, including VILIP-1 (the founder protein), VILIP-2,
VILIP-3, hippocalcin, and neurocalcin δ, constitute a highly homologous subfamily of …

Calsenilin/DREAM/KChIP3, a member of the recoverin branch of the EF-hand superfamily,
interacts with presenilins, serves as a calcium-regulated transcriptional repressor, and …
