Dopamine receptors are implicated in many neurological processes, including motivational and incentive salience, cognition, memory, learning, and fine motor control, as well as modulation of neuroendocrine signaling. Abnormal dopamine receptor signaling and dopaminergic nerve function is implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. [2]
Dopaminergic pathways ( dopamine pathways, dopaminergic projections) in the human brain are involved in both physiological and behavioral processes including movement, cognition, executive functions, reward, motivation, and neuroendocrine control. [ 1] Each pathway is a set of projection neurons, consisting of individual dopaminergic neurons.
The renal dopaminergic system is located in the cells of the nephron in the kidney, where all subtypes of dopamine receptors are present. [77] Dopamine is also synthesized there, by tubule cells, and discharged into the tubular fluid .
Dopaminergic means "related to dopamine " (literally, "working on dopamine"), dopamine being a common neurotransmitter. [ 1] Dopaminergic substances or actions increase dopamine-related activity in the brain. Dopaminergic brain pathways facilitate dopamine-related activity. For example, certain proteins such as the dopamine transporter (DAT ...
Dopamine receptor D 1. Dopamine receptor D. 1. Dopamine receptor D1, also known as DRD1. It is one of the two types of D 1 -like receptor family — receptors D 1 and D 5. It is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DRD1 gene. [ 5][ 6][ 7][ 8]
Dopamine receptor D 2, also known as D2R, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the DRD2 gene.After work from Paul Greengard's lab had suggested that dopamine receptors were the site of action of antipsychotic drugs, several groups, including those of Solomon H. Snyder and Philip Seeman used a radiolabeled antipsychotic drug to identify what is now known as the dopamine D 2 receptor. [5]
A dopamine agonist is a compound that activates dopamine receptors. There are two families of dopamine receptors, D 1 -like and D 2 -like. They are all G protein-coupled receptors. D 1 - and D 5 -receptors belong to the D 1 -like family and the D 2 -like family includes D 2, D 3 and D 4 receptors. [1]
Dopamine receptor D 5. Dopamine receptor D. 5. Dopamine receptor D5, also known as D1BR, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DRD5 gene. [ 5] It belongs to the D 1 -like receptor family along with the D 1 receptor subtype .
