Adenosine A2A-R Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Adenosine A2a receptor (ADORA2A) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) -coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, which is subdivided into classes and subtypes. The receptors are seven-pass transmembrane proteins that respond to extracellular cues and activate intracellular signal transduction pathways. This protein, an adenosine receptor of A2A subtype, uses adenosine as the preferred endogenous agonist and preferentially interacts with the G (s) and G (olf) family of G proteins to increase intracellular cAMP levels. It plays an important role in many biological functions, such as cardiac rhythm and circulation, cerebral and renal blood flow, immune function, pain regulation, and sleep. It has been implicated in pathophysiological conditions such as inflammatory diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A read-through transcript composfunction:Receptor for adenosine. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase., similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
