title: Dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase in rabbit portal vein.
abstract: The effect of dopamine (DA) on 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) generation in the rabbit portal vein was investigated. Dopamine added to homogenates of rabbit portal vein increased the concentration of cAMP. DA-elicited cAMP increase was exclusively inhibited by DA antagonists fluphenazine and haloperidol suggesting the existence of DA receptors (of the DA1 subtype) in the portal vein.
