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 word comparison:
“From top to bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.”
—Emile Durkheim (18581917)
