Dopamine receptor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dopamine receptors are a class of metabotropic G protein-coupled receptors that are prominent in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). The neurotransmitter dopamine is the primary endogenous ligand for dopamine receptors.

Dopamine receptors have key roles in many processes, including the control of motivation, learning, and fine motor movement, as well as modulation of neuroendocrine signaling. Abnormal dopamine receptor signaling and dopaminergic nerve function is implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders.[1] Thus, dopamine receptors are common neurologic drug targets; antipsychotics are often dopamine receptor antagonists while psychostimulants are typically indirect agonists of dopamine receptors.

There are five subtypes of dopamine receptors, D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5. D1 and D5 receptors are members of the D1-like family of dopamine receptors, whereas the D2, D3 and D4 receptors are members of the D2-like family. There is also some evidence that suggests the existence of possible D6 and D7 dopamine receptors, but such receptors have not been conclusively identified.[2]

[edit] D1-like family

Activation of the D1-like family receptors is coupled to the G protein Gαs, which subsequently activates adenylyl cyclase, increasing the intracellular concentration of the second messenger Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increased cAMP in neurons is typically excitatory and can induce an action potential by modulating the activity of ion channels.

[edit] D1

[edit] D5

[edit] D2-like family

D2-like activation is coupled to the G protein Gαi, which subsequently increased phosphodiesterase activity. Phosphodiesterases break down cAMP, producing an inhibitory effect in neurons.

[edit] D2

  • D2 ("DRD2", Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) 126450). There is a short version of D2 (D2Sh) and a long version of D2 (D2Lh):
    • The D2Sh are pre-synaptic situated, having modulatory functions (called autoreceptor, they regulate the neurotransmission by feed-back mechanisms, i.e., synthesis, storage and release of dopamine into the synaptic cleft).
    • The D2Lh may have the classic function of a post-synaptic receptor, i.e., keep going on the neurotransmission (excitatory or inhibitory) once blocked by a receptor antagonist or stimulated by the endogenous neurotransmitter itself or a synthetic full or partial agonist.

[edit] Role of dopamine receptors in the central nervous system

Dopamine receptors control neural signaling that modulates many important behaviors, such as spatial working memory.[3]

[edit] Non-CNS dopamine receptors

[edit] Cardio-pulmonary system

In humans, the pulmonary artery expresses D1, D2, D4, and D5 and receptor subtypes, which may account for vasorelaxive effects of dopamine in the blood.[4] In rats, D1-like receptors are present on the smooth muscle of the blood vessels in most major organs.[5]

D4 receptors have been identified in the atria of rat and human hearts.[6] Dopamine increases myocardial contractility and cardiac output, without changing heart rate, by signaling through dopamine receptors.[2]

[edit] Renal system

Dopamine receptors are present along the nephron in the kidney, with proximal tubule epithelial cells showing the highest density.[5] In rats, D1-like receptors are present on the juxtaglomerular apparatus and on renal tubules, while D2-like receptors are present on the renal tubules, glomeruli, postganglionic sympathetic nerve terminals, and zona glomerulosa cells of the renal cortex.[5] Dopamine signaling affects diuresis and natriuresis.[2]

[edit] Dopamine receptors in disease

Dysfunction of dopaminergic neurotransmission in the CNS has been implicated in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders, including Tourette's syndrome,[7] Parkinson's disease,[8] schizophrenia,[7] Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder,[9] and drug and alcohol dependence.[7][10]

[edit] Drug abuse

Dopamine is the primary neurotransmitter involved in the reward pathways in the brain. Thus, drugs that increase dopmamine signaling may produce euphoric effects. Cocaine and methamphetamine—two examples of such drugs—alter the functionality of the dopamine transporter (DAT), the protein responsible for removing dopamine from the neural synapse. When DAT activity is blocked, the synapse floods with dopamine and increases dopaminergic signaling. When this occurs, particularly in the nucleus accumbens,[11] increased D1[10] and D2[11] receptor signaling mediates the "rewarding" stimulus of drug intake.[11]

[edit] Genetic hypertension

Dopamine receptor mutations can cause genetic hypertension in humans.[12] This can occur in animal models and humans with defective dopamine receptor activity, particularly D1.[5]
