Dopamine receptor D3 C016 / 4449
D(3) dopamine receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DRD3 gene.This gene encodes the D3 subtype of the dopamine receptor. The D3 subtype inhibits adenylyl cyclase through inhibitory G-proteins. This receptor is expressed in phylogenetically older regions of the brain, suggesting that this receptor plays a role in cognitive and emotional functions. It is a target for drugs which treat schizophrenia, drug addiction, and Parkinsons disease

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Dopamine receptor D3 C016 / 4449, encoded by the DRD3 gene. Known for its crucial role in regulating cognitive and emotional functions, this specific subtype of dopamine receptor inhibits adenylyl cyclase through inhibitory G-proteins. The image captures the essence of this vital protein, which is primarily expressed in older regions of the brain. Its presence suggests that it plays a significant part in various cognitive and emotional processes within our minds. Scientists have identified it as a potential target for drugs used to treat conditions such as schizophrenia, drug addiction, and Parkinson's disease. Displayed with precision and clarity, this molecular model allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty inherent in these essential building blocks of life. The detailed structure serves as a reminder of how far we have come in understanding the intricacies of our own biology. As we delve deeper into unraveling the mysteries behind neurotransmitters like dopamine, we gain valuable insights into both normal brain function and disorders that affect millions worldwide. This photograph not only celebrates scientific progress but also highlights our ongoing efforts to develop innovative treatments for neurological conditions. Captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning visual representation invites contemplation on the delicate balance between molecules and emotions that shape our human experience.
