ADRA1A Antibody

ADRA1A, also known as alpha-1A adrenergic receptor, is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it. This gene is mapped to 8p21.2. Alpha-1-adrenergic receptors are G protein-coupled transmembrane receptors that mediate actions in the sympathetic nervous system through the binding of the catecholamines, epinephrine and norepinephrine. It has been found that ADRA1A transcripts in heart, brain, liver, and prostate. ADRA1A is the predominant ADRA1 subtype in liver and heart, and it can mediate the contraction of prostate smooth muscle.
