DARPP-32 in the ciliary epithelium of the eye: a neurotransmitter-regulated phosphoprotein of brain localizes to secretory cells.

Abstract: DARPP-32, a phosphoprotein enriched in dopaminoceptive brain neurons containing the D-1 receptor subtype, probably functions as an intracellular third messenger to mediate some of the physiological effects of dopamine at the D-1 receptor. By immunohistochemistry in rat, cat, Rhesus monkey, and human, we have localized DARPP-32 to the non-pigmented epitheium of the ciliary body, the innermost layer ofthe bi-layered epitheium responsible for secretion ofaqueous humor into the eye. The immunoreactive protein in r… Show more

“…In mammals they may well influence intraocular pressure; unfortunately, interpretation of the pressure-effect studies is hampered by their contradictory nature (for review, see ref. 26). Comparable studies are not available for the bird.…”

“…DARPP-32 has been identified in bovine adipose tissue (this study), ciliary epithelium [21] and brain from a number of species, rat retina, bovine adrenal medulla chromaffin cells, isolated bovine parathyroid cells and choroid plexus [12]. A role for dopamine in regulating the phosphorylation of DARPP-32 has been demonstrated in brain [22] and is postulated in the other tissues in which DARPP-32 is found [23].…”

“…Protein phosphatase-I is inhibited by nanomolar concentrations of the heat-and acid-stable protein known as inhibitor-1 [l, 21. Inhibitor-1 is active only after it has been phosphorylated on a specific threonine residue by CAMPdependent protein kinase [2].…”

“…However, DARPP-32-like immunoreactivity has been detected in brown fat cells in pig (15), and the protein has been identified and purified from bovine adipose tissue (16). Previous studies have also identified DARPP-32 in ciliary epithelium (17) and in adrenal chromaffin cells, parathyroid cells, and choroid plexus (13). Evidence has been obtained for the presence of D1-like receptors in several of these tissues (18)(19)(20)(21)(22).…”
