Comparison of Subtypes
| Receptor | Gene | Mechanism | Effects | Agonists | Antagonists |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | ADORA1 | Gi/o → cAMP↑/↓
|
|
|
|
| A2A | ADORA2A | Gs → cAMP↑ |
|
|
|
| A2B | ADORA2B | Gs → cAMP↑
Also recently discovered A2B has Gq → DAG and IP3 → Release calcium → activate calmodulin → activate myosin light chain kinase → phosphrylate myosin light chain → myosin light chain plus actin → bronchoconstriction |
|
|
|
| A3 | ADORA3 | Gi/o → ↓cAMP |

Famous quotes containing the words comparison of and/or comparison:
“But the best read naturalist who lends an entire and devout attention to truth, will see that there remains much to learn of his relation to the world, and that it is not to be learned by any addition or subtraction or other comparison of known quantities, but is arrived at by untaught sallies of the spirit, by a continual self-recovery, and by entire humility.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successfulrealizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regimewhile the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.”
—Irving Kristol (b. 1920)
