CATEGORY

receptor membrane G

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,vesicle

basic FUNCTION	adenylate cyclase inhibiting, involved in the regulation of appetite and growth hormone
	having distinct functional roles with dopamine in the cortex versus the striatum
	TAAR1 and DRD2 have functional and physical interactions that could be critical for the modulation of the dopaminergic system by TAAR1
	dopamine DRD2 signaling suppresses human osteoclastogenesis
	new function of DRD2 in dendritic spine morphogenesis
	key receptor that mediates dopamine-associated brain functions such as mood, reward, and emotion
	play likely an important role in the activity-dependent functional development of the retina
	differential roles of DRD1 and DRD2 receptor-containing neurons of the nucleus accumbens shell in behavioral sensitization
	exhibits pleiotropic responses to the biogenic amine dopamine (DA) to mediate complex central nervous system functions through activation of G proteins and beta-arrestins
	functional expression of DRD2 is regulated by tetraspanin 7-mediated postendocytic trafficking

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	calnexin interactions critically regulate DRD2
	NOVA1 and HNRNPM are DRD2 pre-mRNA-binding proteins with antagonistic role in the alternative splicing of DRD2 pre-mRNA
	functional interaction between TAAR1 and DRD2
	expression of ZNF804A results in a statistically significant decrease in transcript levels of PDE4B and DRD2
	association of ANKK1/DRD2 implicates the role of nicotine-related pathways and dopamine signaling in language processing, particularly in comprehension and phonological memory
	CDK5-mediated phosphorylation of S321 inhibits DRD2 function, providing a novel regulatory mechanism for dopamine signaling
	DRD2, via paraoxonase 2 and SESN2, keeps normal renal redox balance, which contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure
	interactions between DRD2 and GNB5 are not mediated by endogenously expressed RGS7 proteins
	is a prominent target for drug treatments in disorders where dopamine function is aberrant, such as schizophrenia
	NCS1 interacts with both the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) DRD2, regulating its internalization and surface expression, and the cognate kinases GRK1 and ADBRK1
	ZDHHC3 and ZDHHC8, also interacted with the DRD2 and each of the palmitoyl acyltransferase (PAT) was capable of affecting the palmitoylation status of the DRD2
	TSPAN7 negatively affects DRD2-mediated signaling
