Abstract
The I2 binding site was first identified on the basis of its preference for binding [3H]idazoxan over [3H]clonidine. Recent years have seen the development of selective, high-affinity ligands allowing more detailed characterization of the I2 binding site. I2 binding sites are more ubiquitous than I1 or I3 binding sites and are distributed in the brain and periphery. There has been considerable interest in I2 binding sites as potential therapeutic targets in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders..
