Indeed, abnormal levels of D1R-D3R heteromer in the dorsal striatum have been correlated with the development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson’s disease patients, a motor complication associated with striatal D1R signaling, thus requiring Gs protein and PKA activity to activate Erk1/2. This evidence concerns the gene MAPK3 and Parkinson disease.
