Abstract excerpt
Human dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) gene has polymorphic variants, three of them alter its amino acid sequence: Val96Ala, Pro310Ser and Ser311Cys. Their functional role never became the object of extensive studies, even though there are some evidence that they correlate with schizophrenia. The present work reviews data indicating that these mutations play a role in dimer formation with dopamine D1 receptor (D1R),...
