Abstract: Previous evidence obtained from several behavioral and biochemical studies suggested the existence of multiple CART receptors. However, identification of CART receptor binding has been largely unsuccessful until recently. The first evidence of CART signaling properties came from a study demonstrating that CART 55-102 inhibited voltage-dependent intracellular calcium signaling. More recent studies showed CART-induced dose- and time-dependent activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1 and 2 in AtT20 cell line. The activation of E...
