ADRA2B
ADRA2B (Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Biology
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. Control a variety of physiological processes, such as regulation of blood pressure, lipolysis and insulin release. The rank order of potency for agonists of ADRA2B is clonidine > norepinephrine > epinephrine = oxymetazoline > dopamine > p-tyramine = phenylephrine > serotonin > p-synephrine / p-octopamine. For antagonists, the rank order is yohimbine > chlorpromazine > phentolamine > mianserine > spiperone > prazosin > alprenolol > propanolol > pindolol. Location: Cell membrane (UniProt). Locus 2q11.2 (HGNC).
