title: The renal dopamine system.
abstract: Intrarenally formed dopamine induced natriuresis by inhibiting the activity of renal tubular Na/KATPase. This effect is mediated via a complex signal network, which includes inhibition of PP1 via the adenylyl cyclase-PKA-DARPP32 pathway and activation of PKC via the PLA2-arachidonic acid-20HETE pathway. The renal dopamine availability is a major determinant of the natriuretic effect of dopamine and is to a large extent modulated by the activity of COMT. The possibility that regulation of dopamine storage and release influences renal dopamine effects should be considered.
