| Function |
Dopamine receptor whose activity is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Modulates the circadian rhythm of contrast sensitivity by regulating the rhythmic expression of NPAS2 in the retinal ganglion cells which in turn regulates the rhythmic expression of the ADCY1 gene in the ganglian cell layer (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
