Regulation of alpha2A-adrenergic receptor expression by epinephrine in cultured astroglia from rat brain.

abstract：:Multiple C2 domains transmembrane protein 1 (MCTP1) contains two transmembrane regions and three C2 domains of high Ca(2+)-binding affinity. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of human MCTP1 gene is reportedly associated with bipolar disorder, but expression and function of MCTP1 in the CNS is still largely unknown....
