Alpha-2A adrenergic receptor

BE0000289ProteinHumansADRA2A

Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors for catecholamines that activate the G(i/o) protein pathway, thereby promoting adenylyl cyclase inhibition, ERK1/2 stimulation, and voltage-gated calcium channels suppression (PubMed:2170371, PubMed:23105096, PubMed:2568356, PubMed:35245122, PubMed:27376152). It is acted on by 82 drugs in DrugBank.
