Question

What does allele C do to the D2 receptor? What is the association between DRD2 and sleep deprivation?

Answer 1

As we know D2 receptor is an dopamine receptor in whivw allele C act and cause the depression and anxiety and this is mainly seen in children and this allele excited the D2 receptor and increase the releser of dopamine ..

The association between the DRD2 and sleep deprivation is that.

As we know deperivadep is an sleeping disturbance which is cause due to extra release of dopa neurotransmitter and cause the anxiety.

So we can say thay Dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene is predicted as a target gene of a brain-enriched miRNA, miR-9, but theirfunctions in sleep-wake cycle remain unknown. ... Thus, miR-9 may controlDRD2 gene translation in the prefrontal cortex for processing sleep deprivation.

So this is the relatio between the DRD2 and sleep deprivation..

Hope u understand the answer.

Thank you
