Alpha2B receptor
| Name: | Alpha2B receptor |
| Description: | This a subtype of the Alpha2 adrenergic receptor that is found in neonatal rat lung that has a high affinity for prazosin. Alpha-2-adrenergic receptors include 3 highly homologous subtypes: alpha2A, alpha2B, and alpha2C. These receptors have a critical role in regulating neurotransmitter release from sympathetic nerves and from adrenergic neurons in the central nervous system. (Adapted from Entrez Gene). |
| Synonym(s): | alpha2B; alpha 2B; A2B; Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor subtype C2; Alpha-2B adrenoceptor; Alpha-2B adrenoreceptor; Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor |
| Is part of: | Catecholamine system, Adrenergic system, Noradrenergic system |
| Related to: | Epinephrine, Norepinephrine |
| Has role: | Adrenoceptor receptor, Neurotransmitter Receptor, G-protein coupled receptor |
| Abbreviation: | A2BR |
