Abstract
Müller cells are multifunctional glial cells, which are recently reported to possess various types of neurotransmitter receptors. It has been reported that dopamine has a neuroprotective effect on the retina. The effect appears to be mediated by dopamine receptor on the retinal cells, but dopamine receptors on Müller cells have not yet been confirmed. To clarify the presence of a nonneurotransmitter effect of dopamine, we studied whether a calcium-mediated metabotropic receptor, dopamine D1 receptor, is functionally expressed on cultured Müller cells.
