Background Information
ADRA2A (Adrenoceptor Alpha-2) belongs to the adrenoceptor alpha-2 family of GPCRs coupled to the inhibitory G-alpha subunit (Gi) that suppresses adenylyl cyclase activity, thereby suppressing the cyclization of AMP to cAMP (PMID: 38132444). ADRA2A inhibits the flow of sympathetic nerves in the central nervous system and plays a major role in sedation, anxiolysis, and antinociception (PMID: 33915198).
