title: Inhibition of protein kinase activity by apomorphine.
abstract: The effect of apomorphine (1-20 microM) on protein kinase activity was studied in extracts from rat peritoneal mast cells and brain tissue. Apomorphine inhibited the cyclic AMP-dependent and the calcium-plus phosphatidylserine-dependent protein kinase activity with an IC50 between 1 and 6 microM, depending on the tissue and on the protein kinase involved. This effect might explain previous results on the apomorphine-induced inhibition of histamine release in rat peritoneal mast cells.
