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 |
