Drugs acting on dopamine receptors are important tools for management of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and Parkinson's disease.
Dopamine receptors signal through mechanisms beyond canonical cAMP-mediated pathways, including alternate G protein coupling and non-G protein mechanisms involving ion channels, receptor tyrosine kinases, and β-arrestins.
New in vivo techniques have significantly advanced understanding of dopamine receptor physiological functions.
Dopamine receptor family members D1-D5 mediate diverse physiological functions in the brain and periphery.
