Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor

BE0000572ProteinHumansADRA2B

Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors for catecholamines that activate G(i/o) protein pathway, thereby promoting adenylyl cyclase inhibition, ERK1/2 stimulation, and voltage-gated calcium channels suppression (PubMed:11056163, PubMed:2164221, PubMed:2172775, PubMed:23105096, PubMed:26811329). It is acted on by 60 drugs in DrugBank.
