Background Information:
Problems in the CNS dopaminergic system are thought to be the root cause of some neuropsychiatric disorders. Dopamine D2 receptor is one of the five types (D1 to D5) of receptors for dopamine. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Dopamine D2 receptor signaling using Nurr1 and ERK may play an important role in mesencephalic dopaminergic neuronal development. Faulty D2 receptors have been common in cases of ROS-dependent hypertension. In addition, defects in DRD2 are associted with alcohol-responsive dystonia, varying susceptability to familial alcoholism as well as a contributing factor to the suicide risk in alcoholics.

Entrez Gene Summary:
This gene encodes the D2 subtype of the dopamine receptor. This G-protein coupled receptor inhibits adenylyl cyclase activity. A missense mutation in this gene causes myoclonus dystonia; other mutations have been associated with schizophrenia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. A third variant has been described, but it has not been determined whether this form is normal or due to aberrant splicing. [provided by RefSeq].
