DesignNote

Expressed in basal ganglia, vasculature, and platelets by human ADORA2A Gene (GPCR1 Family), 412-aa 45-kDa Adenosine A2A Receptor is a cell-surface integral membrane protein containing 7 transmembrane domains that interacts with a heterotrimeric G protein complex in response to adenosine ligand to stimulate cAMP accumulation through adenylate cyclase activation, is a major target of caffeine, and modulates the activity of various neuronal populations, platelets, neutrophils, and mast cells, and smooth muscle cells in bronchi and vasculature. A potent biologic mediator, most effects of adenosine protect cells during stress.
