Mouse Dopamine receptor D4 is a 387 aa, G-protein coupled and transmembrane receptor protein (1).
This gene encodes the D4 subtype of the dopamine receptor.
The D4 subtype is a G-protein coupled receptor which inhibits adenylyl cyclase.
It is a target for drugs which treat schizophrenia and Parkinson disease.
Mutations in this gene have been associated with various behavioral phenotypes, including autonomic nervous system dysfunction, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and the personality trait of novelty seeking.
This gene contains a polymorphic number (2-10 copies) of tandem 48 nt repeats; the sequence shown contains four repeats.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot.
Immunogen:Peptide corresponding to 10aa from within the 3rd extracellular domain of mouse Dopamine Receptor, D4. No significant homology with other dopamine receptors (D1, D2, D3 or D5). Species Sequence Homology (90%): human and rat
