Name Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor
Synonyms
  1. Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor subtype C2
  2. Alpha-2B adrenoceptor
  3. Alpha-2B adrenoreceptor
  4. Alpha-2BAR
Gene Name ADRA2B
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway
Specific Function Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine- induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. The rank order of potency for agonists of this receptor 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
