CNV Dopamine

CNV Dopamine is a carboxynitroveratryl (CNV)-caged dopamine; releases dopamine upon ultraviolet light stimulation (365 nm). Induces dopaminergic currents upon photolysis in brain slices expressing wild-type or GFP-labeled D2receptors. Displays no decrease in current (rundown) with UV light flash duration of up to 100 ms. Pharmacologically inactive prior to photolysis.
