Electrophysiological Effects of Trace Amines on Mesencephalic Dopaminergic Neurons
- BiologyFront. Syst. Neurosci.
- 2011
Three important new aspects of TAs action have recently emerged: inhibition of firing due to increased release of dopamine; reduction of D2 and GABAB receptor-mediated inhibitory responses (excitatory effects due to disinhibition); and a direct activation of GIRK channels by TA1 receptors which produce cell membrane hyperpolarization.

TAAR1 is uniquely positioned to exert direct control over DA and 5-HT neuronal firing and release, which has profound implications for understanding the pathophysiology of, and therefore designing more efficacious therapeutic interventions for, a range of neuropsychiatric disorders that involve aminergic dysregulation.

The trace amines (TAs), tryptamine, tyramine, and β-phenylethylamine, are synthesized from precursor amino acids via aromatic-L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC). We explored their role in the…
Trace Amines and Their Relevance to Psychiatry and Neurology: A Brief Overview

There has been a resurgence of interest in these amines in the past decade with the discovery and cloning of a unique family of G-protein-coupled receptors, some of which are selectively activated by trace amines; these receptors have been termed trace amine, associated receptors (TAARs).

Functional evolution of the trace amine associated receptors in mammals and the loss of TAAR1 in dogs
- BiologyBMC Evolutionary Biology

It is found that the TAAR1 pseudogenization event resulted in an uncompensated loss of function in dogs and was predated the emergence of the Canini tribe rather than being coincident with canine domestication.

The molecular biological confirmation of the presence of TAAR1 and the pharmacological findings regarding the effects of TAs in rat aortic rings might explain their hypertensive effects and their role in coronary heart disease and migraine headache.

Previous studies showing responses to physiologically relevant concentrations of trace amines are reviewed, along with those showing a reciprocal relationship between trace amine levels and fluctuations in basal monoaminergic tone, and it is hypothesized that the traceAmines function as endogenous neuromodulators of classical monoamine neurotransmitters.

Using a degenerate PCR approach, 15 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) from human and rodent tissues are identified and it is demonstrated that two of these receptors bind and/or are activated by trace amines.

The discovery and pharmacological characterization of a rat G protein-coupled receptor that stimulates the production of cAMP when exposed to the trace amines p-tyramine, beta-phenethylamine, tryptamine, and octopamine and the discovery that amphetamines are potent rTAR1 agonists suggests that the effects of these widely used drugs may be mediated in part by this receptor as well as their previously characterized targets, the neurotransmitter transporter proteins.

The accumulation rates of PE and T in the brains of rats treated with pargyline were similar to those of the classical neurotransmitters dopamine, noradrenaline (NA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), although these latter compounds are present endogenously in much greater amounts.
