Dopamine transcription factors

• Nurr1 [1]
  • Nurr1 agonists (THC?)
• Neuroprotection [2]
  • Microglia
• Dopaminergic neurons activation is mediated by Nurr1 gene expression
• RNA-guided transcriptional regulation of dopamine
• Notch (dopamine transcriptional repressor)

RNA-guided dopamine neurotransmission

• Nurr1-mediated RNA transcription may autoregulate dopamine D2 receptor density.
