STRUCTURE OF THE D2 DOPAMINE RECEPTOR BOUND TO THE ATYPICAL ANTIPSYCHOTIC DRUG RISPERIDONE
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that has been implicated in processes as diverse as reward, addiction, control of coordinated movement, metabolism and hormonal secretion.

Background Dopamine receptors comprise two subgroups, Gs protein-coupled “D1-like” receptors (D1, D5) and Gi-coupled “D2-like” receptors (D2, D3, D4). In airways, both dopamine D1 and D2 receptors are expressed on airway smooth muscle and regulate airway

D2 dopamine receptor subtype-mediated hyperactivity and amphetamine responses in a model of ADHD
Low doses of psychostimulants produce beneficial behavioral effects in ADHD patients but the mechanisms underlying the response are not understood. Here we use the hyperactive mouse mutant coloboma to identify D2-like dopamine receptor subtypes that ...

Role of D1/D2 dopamin receptors antagonist perphenazine in morphine analgesia and tolerance in rats
While opioid receptors have been implicated in the development of tolerance, the subsequent mechanisms involved in these phenomena have not been completely understood.

Initial investigations on dopamine D4 receptors generated much interest in the role of this receptor in schizophrenia and other aspects of human behavior, as well as new opportunities for novel therapeutics. However, attempts to treat patients suffering from schizophrenia with dopamine D4 agents have failed to yield satisfactory results so far.

Change of dopamine receptor mRNA expression in lymphocyte of schizophrenic patients
Background Though the dysfunction of central dopaminergic system has been proposed, the etiology or pathogenesis of schizophrenia is still uncertain partly due to limited accessibility to dopamine receptor. The purpose of this study was to define whether
