Also known as ADRAR
Summary
ADRA2A (adrenoceptor alpha 2A, HGNC:281) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q25.2, encoding Alpha-2A adrenergic receptor (P08913). Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors for catecholamines that activate the G(i/o) protein pathway, thereby promoting adenylyl cyclase inhibition, ERK1/2 stimulation, and voltage-gated calcium channels suppression.
Alpha-2-adrenergic receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. The alpha-2-adrenergic receptors are a type of adrenergic receptors (for adrenaline or epinephrine), which inhibit adenylate cyclase. These receptors include 3 highly homologous subtypes: alpha2A, alpha2B, and alpha2C. They are involved in regulating the release of neurotransmitter molecules from sympathetic nerves and from adrenergic neurons in the central nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system regulates cardiovascular function by activating adrenergic receptors in the heart, blood vessels and kidney. Studies in mouse revealed that both the alpha2A and alpha2C receptor subtypes were required for presynaptic transmitter release from the sympathetic nervous system in the heart and from central noradrenergic neurons. The alpha-2-adrenergic receptors are also involved in catecholamine signaling by extracellular regulated protein kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) pathways. A clear association between the alpha-2-adrenergic receptor and disease has not been yet established.

Function. Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors for catecholamines that activate the G(i/o) protein pathway, thereby promoting adenylyl cyclase inhibition, ERK1/2 stimulation, and voltage-gated calcium channels suppression. Control a variety of physiological processes, such as regulation of blood pressure, lipolysis and insulin release. ADRA2A and ADRA2C mediates the presynaptic feedback inhibition of neurotransmitter release from noradrenergic nerve terminals in sympathetic and central nervous systems. ADRA2A inhibits transmitter release at high stimulation frequencies, whereas ADRA2C modulates neurotransmission at lower levels of nerve activity. The rank order of potency for agonists of ADRA2A is oxymetazoline > clonidine > epinephrine > norepinephrine > phenylephrine > dopamine > p-synephrine > p-tyramine > serotonin = p-octopamine. For antagonists, the rank order is yohimbine > phentolamine = mianserine > chlorpromazine = spiperone = prazosin > propanolol > alprenolol = pindolol.

Disease relevance. Lipodystrophy, familial partial, 8 (FPLD8) [MIM:620679] An autosomal dominant form of partial lipodystrophy, a disorder characterized by abnormal subcutaneous fat distribution. FPLD8 patients show selective loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue from the limbs, beginning around 13 to 15 years of age, and abnormal accumulation of subcutaneous adipose tissue in the dorsal neck and face, as well as in the posterior thoracic and abdominal regions. The disorder is associated with metabolic abnormalities, including diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Adrenergic receptor subfamily. ADRA2A sub-subfamily.
