Abstract
This chapter describes the physiological significance of dopamine receptor endocytosis and the consequence of the receptor signaling. Endocytosis of dopamine receptors is regulated by many components such as clathrin, β-arrestin, caveolin, and Rab family proteins. The dopamine receptors escape from lysosomal digestion, and their recycling occurs rapidly, reinforcing the dopaminergic signal transduction. In addition, the pathological impact of the receptors interacting with specific proteins has been the focus of much attention. Based on this background, this chapter provides an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of molecules interacting with dopamine receptors and discusses the potential pharmacotherapeutic targets for α-synucleinopathies and neuropsychiatric disorders.
