Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel dopamine receptor (D 3 ) as a target for neuroleptics

A dopamine receptor has been characterized which differs in its pharmacology and signalling system from the D 1 or D 2 receptor and represents both an autoreceptor and a postsynaptic receptor. The D 3 receptor is localized to limbic areas of the brain, which are associated with cognitive, emotional...

Zusammenfassung:A dopamine receptor has been characterized which differs in its pharmacology and signalling system from the D 1 or D 2 receptor and represents both an autoreceptor and a postsynaptic receptor. The D 3 receptor is localized to limbic areas of the brain, which are associated with cognitive, emotional and endocrine functions. It seems to mediate some of the effects of antipsychotic drugs and drugs used against Parkinson's disease, that were previously thought to interact only with D 2 receptors.
