gene geneOn this page
Also known as ADRARL1
Summary
ADRA2B (adrenoceptor alpha 2B, HGNC:282) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q11.2, encoding Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor (P18089). Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors for catecholamines that activate G(i/o) protein pathway, thereby promoting adenylyl cyclase inhibition, ERK1/2 stimulation, and voltage-gated calcium channels suppression.
This intronless gene encodes a seven-pass transmembrane protein. This protein is a member of a subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors that regulate neurotransmitter release from sympathetic nerves and from adrenergic neurons in the central nervous system.

Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor — P18089 (reviewed: P18089)
Alternative names: Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor subtype C2, Alpha-2B adrenoreceptor
All UniProt accessions (1): P18089
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors for catecholamines that activate 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. The rank order of potency for agonists of ADRA2B 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.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with RAB26; RAB26 mediates cell surface transport from the Golgi. Interacts with PPP1R9B. Interacts with GGA1, GGA2 and GGA3; GGA1, GGA2 and GGA3 mediates transport from the Golgi to the cell membrane. Interacts with RAB43 (GTP-bound); RAB43 mediates ADRA2B ER-to-Golgi cell transport.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Disease relevance. Epilepsy, familial adult myoclonic, 2 (FAME2) [MIM:607876] A form of familial myoclonic epilepsy, a neurologic disorder characterized by cortical hand tremors, myoclonic jerks and occasional generalized or focal seizures with a non-progressive or very slowly progressive disease course. Usually, myoclonic tremor is the presenting symptom, characterized by tremulous finger movements and myoclonic jerks of the limbs increased by action and posture. In a minority of patients, seizures are the presenting symptom. Some patients exhibit mild cognitive impairment. FAME2 inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Polymorphism. A rare polymorphic frameshift in position 451 produces a protein of 545 residues.
Similarity. Belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family. Adrenergic receptor subfamily. ADRA2B sub-subfamily.
