AR-α1A (Q365) polyclonal antibody

α1A-adrenergic receptors (α1A-ARs) mediate actions in the sympathetic nervous system through the binding of the catecholamines, epinephrine and norepinephrine. α1A-AR couples to Gq/11 and regulates blood pressure due to changes in vascular tone and cardiac output. Alternative splicing of the ADRA1A gene generates four isoforms with distinct C-termini, and the different expression profile of these subtypes produces distinct patterns of activation. α1A-AR transcripts are abundant in heart, brain, liver and prostate. α1A-AR transcript sizes of 6.0, 4.0, 3.0, and 2.0 kb have been detected in liver. Transcripts of 6.0, 4.0 and 3.0 kb have been detected in heart, and transcripts of 6.0 and 4.0 kb have been detected in prostate
