Summary: Enables dopamine binding activity; dopamine neurotransmitter receptor activity, coupled via Gi/Go; and heterocyclic compound binding activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; dendrite; and perikaryon. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and synaptic membrane. Biomarker of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Gilles de la Tourette syndrome; antisocial personality disorder; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; conduct disorder; and substance abuse (multiple). Orthologous to human DRD4 (dopamine receptor D4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Dopamine D4 receptor (D4R) antagonism in the prelimbic area (PL) decreases the expression of innate fear-behavior indicating that the activation of D4R in the PL is necessary for the expression of innate fear-behavior.
Title: Activation of type 4 dopaminergic receptors in the prelimbic area of medial prefrontal cortex is necessary for the expression of innate fear behavior.
Data indicate that the anterior cingulate cortex is critically involved in parsing the appropriate response when competing stimulus-outcome associations are activated, and that signalling via dopamine D4 receptors may play a particularly important role in gating the temporal and spatial summation of salient events.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
