Previous studies have identified and characterized D1- and D2-dopamine receptors in bovine pineal glands. The data indicate that the density of D1-dopamine receptors (974 fmol/mg protein) far exceed that of D2-dopamine receptors (37 fmol/mg protein). The objective of this study was to identify the m...
