Receptor, Ligand and Transducer Contributions to Dopamine D2 Receptor Functional Selectivity.

Functional selectivity (or biased agonism) is a property exhibited by some G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands, which results in the modulation of a subset of a receptor's signaling capabilities and more precise control over complex biological processes. The dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) exh...
