  • Function

    This is one of the five types (D1 to D5) of receptors for dopamine. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Promotes cell proliferation.

  • Tissue specificity

    Brain.

  • Involvement in disease

    Genetic variation in DRD3 is associated with essential tremor hereditary type 1 (ETM1) [MIM:190300]. ETM1 is the most common movement disorder. The main feature is postural tremor of the arms. Head, legs, trunk, voice, jaw, and facial muscles also may be involved. The condition can be aggravated by emotions, hunger, fatigue and temperature extremes, and may cause a functional disability or even incapacitation. Inheritance is autosomal dominant.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylated by GRK4 (GRK4-alpha and GRK4-gamma).

  • Cellular localization

    Cell membrane. Both membrane-bound and scattered in the cytoplasm during basal conditions. Receptor stimulation results in the rapid internalization and sequestration of the receptors at the perinuclear area (5 and 15 minutes), followed by the dispersal of the receptors to the membrane (30 minutes). DRD3 and GRK4 co-localize in lipid rafts of renal proximal tubule cells.
