D2-like receptor explained

The D₂-like receptors^[1] are a subfamily of dopamine receptors that bind the endogenous neurotransmitter dopamine. The D₂-like subfamily consists of three G-protein coupled receptors that are coupled to G_i/G_o and mediate inhibitory neurotransmission, of which include D₂, D₃, and D₄. For more information, please see the respective main articles of the individual subtypes:
