The dopamine receptor D₄ is a dopamine D2-like G protein-coupled receptor encoded by the DRD4 gene on chromosome 11 at 11p15.5.^[5]

The structure of DRD4 has been reported in complex with the antipsychotic drug nemonapride.^[6]

As with other dopamine receptor subtypes, the D₄ receptor is activated by the neurotransmitter dopamine. It is linked to many neurological and psychiatric conditions^[7] including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder,^[8] ADHD,^[9]^[10] addictive behaviors,^[11] Parkinson's disease,^[12] and eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa.^[13] A weak association has been drawn between DRD4 and borderline personality disorder.

It is also a target for drugs which treat schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.^[14] The D₄ receptor is considered to be D₂-like in which the activated receptor inhibits the enzyme adenylate cyclase, thereby reducing the intracellular concentration of the second messenger cyclic AMP.^[15]
