a: Dopamine receptor ~
b: a fishing pole that catches dopamine
What:
"The dopamine receptor, located on the cell surface, is like a fishing pole that catches dopamine. Methylation supports receptor activity by keeping the phospholipids in the cell membrane fluid. Membrane fluidity also aids proper signaling of the immune system and protects nerves from damage. The symptoms of diseases such as ALS and Alzheimer's disease result from nerve damage."
