Dopamine Receptor Family Products GPCR Family Subtypes and Products

Dopamine receptors are a family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) which are responsible for a large number of central nervous system functions, such as attention, cognitive functions, cardiovascular functions, motivation and positive reinforcement and motor activity. There are five different subtypes of dopamine receptors: D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5. Defects in any one of these transmitters has a potentially large effect on the central nervous system in the form of neurological and psychiatric disorders. These disorders include Tourette’s syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, ADHD, substance abuse, and social phobias.
