High affinity dopamine binding to mouse thymocytes and Mytilus edulis (Bivalvia) hemocytes.

The present report demonstrates that both mouse thymocytes and Mytilus edulis hemocytes contain a novel type of dopamine receptor. Scatchard analysis of these data revealed a single class of high-affinity binding sites with an affinity constant (Kd) of 6.6 nM, and a binding site density (Bmax) of 141 pmol/g protein in mice and a Kd of 7.
