Mkp1 is expressed in dopaminergic neurons in the adult rat SN. Representative photomicrograph showing (a, b) TH expression (brown), (c, d) Mkp1 expression (brown) and (e, f) Mkp1 expression (brown) in TH⁺ (blue/black) dopaminergic neurons throughout the adult rat SN under basal conditions. (f) Co-localisation in the SNpc. Red arrows indicate TH⁺ (blue/black), green arrows indicate Mkp1⁺ (brown) cells while the blue arrow indicates double labelling of Mkp1⁺/TH⁺ cells. Scale bars =100 μm (a, c, e) or 50 μm (b, d, f).
