Figure 1

Major processes that regulate the endogenous content of dopamine in renal tubular cells and the renal dopaminergic tonus. B0: amino acid transport system B0; COMT: catechol-O-methyltransferase; LATs: L-type amino acid transporters; MAO: monoamine-oxidase; OCTs: organic cationic transporters; OCTNs: organic cation/carnitine transporters; VMATs: vesicular monoamine transporters.
