Background
DRD4, D(4) dopamine receptor, D(2C) dopamine receptor, Dopamine D4 receptorDRD4 encodes the D4 subtype of the dopamine receptor. The D4 subtype is a G-protein coupled receptor which inhibits adenylyl cyclase. It is a target for drugs which treat schizophrenia and Parkinson disease. Mutations in DRD4 have been associated with various behavioral phenotypes, including autonomic nervous system dysfunction, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and the personality trait of novelty seeking. DRD4 contains a polymorphic number (2-10 copies) of tandem 48 nt repeats, the sequence shown contains four repeats.
