Reference Gene

Gene name Alias Species Exons Type Paralogs EC number OMIM
DRD5 dopamine receptor D5 DBDR , DRD1B , DRD1L2 Homo sapiens 1 N/a 126453

Summary

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
