General annotation (Comments)

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. Ref.9

Subunit structure

Interacts with RAB26. Ref.9

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: Interaction with RAB26 mediates transport from the Golgi to the cell membrane. Ref.9

Polymorphism

A rare polymorphic frameshift in position 451 produces a protein of 542 residues.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Adrenergic receptor subfamily. ADRA2B sub-subfamily.
