Evidence for D1 dopamine receptor activation by a paracrine signal of dopamine in tick salivary glands.
Ticks that feed on vertebrate hosts use their salivary secretion, which contains various bioactive components, to manipulate the host's responses. The mechanisms controlling the tick salivary gland in this dynamic process are not well understood. We identified the tick D1 receptor activated by...
