Dopamine receptor D3 C016 / 4452
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 molecular model of the Dopamine receptor D3 C016/4452, encoded by the DRD3 gene. As a subtype of dopamine receptors, this protein plays a crucial role in regulating cognitive and emotional functions within phylogenetically older regions of the brain. Its significance lies in inhibiting adenylyl cyclase through inhibitory G-proteins. Scientists have identified this receptor as a potential target for drugs aimed at treating various neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, drug addiction, and Parkinson's disease. By understanding its structure and function, researchers can develop innovative therapies to modulate its activity and restore balance to disrupted neurotransmitter signaling. The intricate details captured in this print offer an intriguing glimpse into the world of molecular biology. The three-dimensional representation highlights how specific molecules interact with one another within our complex neural circuitry. It serves as a visual reminder that even at such microscopic scales, every atom contributes to our understanding of human health and well-being. As we delve deeper into unraveling the mysteries of these receptors, we inch closer towards groundbreaking advancements in medicine. This image not only celebrates scientific progress but also reminds us that there is still much more to explore on our quest for improved treatments and enhanced quality of life for those affected by neurological conditions.
