Advanced Research on Dopamine Signaling to Develop Drugs for the Treatment of Mental Disorders: Proteins Interacting With the Third Cytoplasmic Loop of Dopamine D2 and D3 Receptors

Among the various dopamine receptors, D2-like receptors (D2R, D3R, and D4R) are characterized by a large third cytoplasmic loop, a short carboxyl-terminal tail, and the ability to activate inhibitory G proteins. The diverse activities of D2-like receptors are partly mediated by proteins that interac...
