Dopamine D1 receptors are the most abundant type of dopamine receptor in the central nervous system, with particularly high concentrations in the striatum.

This targeted action distinguishes it from other dopamine-blocking agents and offers a unique pharmacological approach for treating various neurological and psychiatric conditions.
