'''Dopamine receptors''' are a class of metabotropic G protein-coupled receptors that are important in the central nervous system. Dopamine receptors are involved in many neurological processes that comprise motivation, pleasure, cognition, memory, learning, and fine motor skills. There are five subtype dopamine receptors, D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5. The D3 receptor is a part of the D2-like family.<ref>PMID:15148138</ref> For additional details see [[Dopamine Receptors]]. | '''Dopamine receptors''' are a class of metabotropic G protein-coupled receptors that are important in the central nervous system.
