The alpha-2A adrenergic receptor2A adrenoceptor), also known as ADRA2A, is an

human gene encoding it.[5]

Receptor

α2 adrenergic receptors include 3 highly homologous subtypes: α2A, α2B, and α2C. These receptors have a critical role in regulating

presynaptic control of transmitter release from sympathetic nerves in the heart and from central noradrenergic neurons; the α2A subtype inhibited transmitter release at high stimulation frequencies, whereas the α2C subtype modulated neurotransmission at lower levels of nerve activity[6]

Gene

This gene encodes α2A subtype and it contains no
