Dopamine receptors are "cell-surface proteins that bind dopamine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells."[1]

Classification[edit]

D1-like receptors[edit]

These receptors stimulate adenylate cyclase.[2]

D1 receptors[edit]

D5 receptors[edit]

D2-like receptors[edit]

These receptors inhibit adenylate cyclase.[3]

Dopamine D2 receptors[edit]

Agonists, such as metoclopramide, are used as antiemetics.

Antagonists, such as risperidone and haloperidol, are used to treat schizophrenia.[4]

Blockade of the D2 receptors, which may be predisposed by genetic polymorphisms of the allele, may cause neuroleptic malignant syndrome.[5]

D3 receptors[edit]

Agonists of D3, especially nonergot agonists such as pramipexole and ropinirole, may be used to treat Parkinonism and restless legs syndrome.[6]

D4 receptors[edit]

Novelty seeing personality trait may be related to polymorphisms in the dopamine receptor D4 that affects dopamine activity in the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic system.[7]
