Anti-DRD5

This gene encodes the D5 subtype of the dopamine receptor. The D5 subtype is a G-protein coupled receptor which stimulates adenylyl cyclase. This receptor is expressed in neurons in the limbic regions of the brain. It has a 10-fold higher affinity for dopamine than the D1 subtype. Pseudogenes related to this gene reside on chromosomes 1 and 2. Protein function: Dopamine receptor whose activity is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. [The UniProt Consortium]
