Summary

DRD3 (dopamine receptor D3, HGNC:3024) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3q13.31, encoding D(3) dopamine receptor (P35462). Dopamine receptor that is primarily expressed in limbic areas of the brain and is involved in the modulation of cognitive, emotional, and endocrine functions.

This gene encodes the D3 subtype of the five (D1-D5) dopamine receptors. The activity of the D3 subtype receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. This receptor is localized to the limbic areas of the brain, which are associated with cognitive, emotional, and endocrine functions. Genetic variation in this gene may be associated with susceptibility to hereditary essential tremor 1. Alternative splicing of this gene results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms, although some variants may be subject to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD).

Function. Dopamine receptor that is primarily expressed in limbic areas of the brain and is involved in the modulation of cognitive, emotional, and endocrine functions. Plays a key role in regulating neuronal signaling pathways associated with motivation, reward, and behavior. Coupled to G(i)/G(o) proteins; activation leads to inhibition of adenylate cyclase and decreased intracellular cAMP levels. Involved in the control of locomotor activity and implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and substance use disorders. Promotes cell proliferation through MAP kinase signaling. Also involved in autophagy regulation: receptor activation stimulates AMPK, which phosphorylates RPTOR and enhances its interaction with MTOR, thereby inhibiting MTORC1 signaling and its downstream target RPS6KB1. This leads to activation of ULK1 and initiation of the autophagy cascade. Forms heterotetramers with DRD1 to potentiate beta-arrestin recruitment and mediate locomotor activity.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with CLIC6. Interacts with GRK4. Interacts with PALM. Interacts with FLNA (via filamin repeat 21); increases PKA-mediated phosphorylation of FLNA. Interacts with DRD1.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane.

Tissue specificity. Brain.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by GRK4 (GRK4-alpha and GRK4-gamma). Palmitoylated.

Disease relevance. Tremor, hereditary essential 1 (ETM1) [MIM:190300] A common movement disorder mainly characterized by postural tremor of the arms. Head, legs, trunk, voice, jaw, and facial muscles may also 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. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Glycine at position 9 results in gain of function and is associated with susceptibility to essential tremor. Schizophrenia (SCZD) [MIM:181500] A complex, multifactorial psychotic disorder or group of disorders characterized by disturbances in the form and content of thought (e.g. delusions, hallucinations), in mood (e.g. inappropriate affect), in sense of self and relationship to the external world (e.g. loss of ego boundaries, withdrawal), and in behavior (e.g bizarre or apparently purposeless behavior). Although it affects emotions, it is distinguished from mood disorders in which such disturbances are primary. Similarly, there may be mild impairment of cognitive function, and it is distinguished from the dementias in which disturbed cognitive function is considered primary. Some patients manifest schizophrenic as well as bipolar disorder symptoms and are often given the diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Disease susceptibility may be associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Glycine at position 9 results in gain of function and may be a risk factor for schizophrenia.

Similarity. Belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family.
