DRD4
geneOn this page
Summary
DRD4 (dopamine receptor D4, HGNC:3025) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p15.5, encoding D(4) dopamine receptor (P21917). Dopamine receptor responsible for neuronal signaling in the mesolimbic system of the brain, an area of the brain that regulates emotion and complex behavior.
This gene 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 this gene have been associated with various behavioral phenotypes, including autonomic nervous system dysfunction, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and the personality trait of novelty seeking. This gene contains a polymorphic number (2-10 copies) of tandem 48 nt repeats; the sequence shown contains four repeats.

All UniProt accessions (1): P21917
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Dopamine receptor responsible for neuronal signaling in the mesolimbic system of the brain, an area of the brain that regulates emotion and complex behavior. Activated by dopamine, but also by epinephrine and norepinephrine, and by numerous synthetic agonists and drugs. Agonist binding triggers signaling via G proteins that inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Modulates the circadian rhythm of contrast sensitivity by regulating the rhythmic expression of NPAS2 in the retinal ganglion cells.
Subunit / interactions. Forms homo- and heterooligomers with DRD2. D4.7 allele exhibits higher affinity for homodimers compared to DRD2 heterodimers, while alleles D42. and 4.4 have similar affinities for both. The interaction with DRD2 may modulate agonist-induced downstream signaling. Interacts with CLIC6. Interacts with GPRASP1. May interact with ADORA2A. Interacts with KLHL12.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in retina. Detected at much lower levels in brain, in amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum and pituitary.
Post-translational modifications. Polyubiquitinated by the BCR(KLHL12) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex: polyubiquitination does not lead to degradation of DRD4 protein. Palmitoylated. Palmitoylation of the C-terminal Cys is important for normal expression at the cell membrane.
Activity regulation. Signaling in response to agonists such as dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine is modulated by Na(+); lower Na(+) levels result in higher receptor activity (in vitro).
Polymorphism. The number of repeats of 16 amino acids in the third cytoplasmic loop is highly polymorphic and varies among different alleles. Alleles corresponding in size to a 2 (D4.2), 3 (D4.3), 4 (D4.4), 5 (D4.5), 6 (D4.6), 7 (D4.7) and 9 (D4.9) repeats have been described. The sequence shown is that of allele D4.4. The polymorphic repeat sequence has little influence on DRD4-binding profiles and might not be essential for G protein interaction.
Similarity. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
