D3 podtip dopaminskog receptora inhibira adenilil ciklazu putem inhibicije G proteina. Ovaj receptor je izražen u filogenetički starijim regionima mozga, što sugeriše da on ima ulogu u kognitivnim i emocionim funkcijama. On je meta za lekove kojima se tretira šizofrenija, addikcija, i Parkinsonova bolest[3] . Alternativno splajsovanje ovog gena proizvodi višestruke transkriptne varijante koje mogu da koriraju različite izoforme, mada neke varijante mogu da budu bez funkcije.[2]
Brojni neselektivni lekovi na recept se vezuju za D3 receptor. Među njima su neki od novijih dopaminskih agonista koji se koriste za lečenje Parkinsonove bolesti, npr. pramipeksol i ropinirol, koji se takođe vezuju za D2 i nemaju jaku selektivnost.
