Structural highlights

Disease

[DRD2_HUMAN] Myoclonic dystonia 11. The gene represented in this entry may be involved in disease pathogenesis. DRD2 mutations in myoclonic dystonia patients are rare, and their contribution to disease phenotype is unclear (PubMed:10716258).

Function

[DRD2_HUMAN] Dopamine receptor whose activity is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase (By similarity).^{[1] [2]}
