DopEcR | Dopamine/Ecdysteroid receptor (DopEcR) encodes a GPCR that shows ligand-biased activation. It can be activated by dopamine to increase cyclic AMP levels and by the insect steroid ecdysone to activate the MAPKinase pathway. It is widely expressed in the nervous system and can modulate a wide variety of complex behaviors including male courtship, locomotion, the response to stressful social interactions and the regulation of appetite.
