D 1 receptor has a high degree of structural homology to another dopamine receptor, D 5, and they both bind similar drugs. [13] As a result, none of the known orthosteric ligands is selective for the D 1 vs. the D 5 receptor, but the benzazepines generally are more selective for the D 1 and D 5 receptors versus the D 2-like family.

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]
Dopamine receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are prominent in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) and 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.
A dopamine antagonist, also known as an anti-dopaminergic and a dopamine receptor antagonist (DRA), is a type of drug which blocks dopamine receptors by receptor antagonism. Most antipsychotics are dopamine antagonists, and as such they have found use in treating schizophrenia , bipolar disorder , and stimulant psychosis . [ 1 ]
D 5 receptor is a subtype of the dopamine receptor that has a 10-fold higher affinity for dopamine than the D 1 subtype. [6] The D 5 subtype is a G-protein coupled receptor, which promotes synthesis of cAMP by adenylyl cyclase via activation of Gα s/olf family of G proteins. [7] [8] Both D 5 and D 1 subtypes activate adenylyl cyclase.
The D 1-like receptors are a subfamily of dopamine receptors that bind the endogenous neurotransmitter dopamine. [1] The D 1-like subfamily consists of two G protein–coupled receptors that are coupled to G s and mediate excitatory neurotransmission, of which include D 1 and D 5. [2]
Dopamine receptor D 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DRD3 gene. [5] [6] This gene encodes the D 3 subtype of the dopamine receptor. The D 3 subtype inhibits adenylyl cyclase through inhibitory G-proteins. This receptor is expressed in phylogenetically older regions of the brain, suggesting that this receptor plays a role in ...
Dopamine receptor D 2, also known as D 2 R, 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]
