The fourth transmembrane segment forms the interface of the dopamine D2 receptor homodimer.

Abstract excerpt

Considerable evidence suggests that G-protein-coupled receptors form homomeric and heteromeric dimers in vivo. Unraveling the structural mechanism for cross-talk between receptors in a dimeric complex must start with the identification of the presently unknown dimer interface. Here, by using cysteine cross-linking, we identify the fourth transmembrane segment (TM4) as a symmetrical dimer interface in the dopamine...
