Variability of dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) gene sequence within and among nonhuman primate species.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 17 Jan 1995

Abstract excerpt

The dopamine D4 receptor is one of five receptors known to function in mammalian dopaminergic pathways. The DNA sequence of the human dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) has previously been investigated in several populations and found to be highly polymorphic at both the DNA and amino acid levels, exhibiting at least 25 alleles. This variation results from differences in the number and DNA sequence of a 48-bp...
