Synonyms

DA

DA receptor

Definitions

Receptor that binds dopamine. These receptors are either D1-like receptors or D2-like receptors, where the D1 receptors (D1 and D5) increase adenylyl cyclase activity and the D2-like receptors (D2, D3, and D4) decrease adenylyl cyclase activity. The two families are distinguishable by expression patterns and pharmacology, and involved with different disease states. D1-like receptor family is involved with the brain's reward system and schizophrenia, while D2-like family is involved with motor control systems and Parkinsons disease.
