D2 Receptor[edit]

The D2 receptor is found in multiple areas of the brain, including the striatum. The D2 receptor recieves input from the substantia nigra pars compacta and the ventral tegmental area also. D2 increases the K+ conductance but also inhibits Calcium entry through voltage-sensitive channels. D2 receptor's affinity for DA is slightly higher than D1 receptors.^[1]
