In this paper, we report that the intracellular mechanism by which neurotensin stimulates prolactin release involves an increase in Ca2+ uptake by pituitary cells rather than an effect on adenylate cyclase system. In addition, dopamine can prevent neurotensin-induced calcium influx by interacting with dopamine D2-receptors which appear to be completely independent of the adenylate cyclase moiety but are coupled to calcium channels.

Abstract
In this paper, we report that the intracellular mechanism by which neurotensin stimulates prolactin release involves an increase in Ca2+ uptake by pituitary cells rather than an effect on adenylate cyclase system. In addition, dopamine can prevent neurotensin-induced calcium influx by interacting with dopamine D2-receptors which appear to be completely independent of the adenylate cyclase moiety but are coupled to calcium channels.
