Description
Product Characteristics:
Receptor for adenosine. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: ADORA2, Adenosine receptor A2b, ADORA2B
Target Information: This gene encodes an adenosine receptor that is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. This integral membrane protein stimulates adenylate cyclase activity in the presence of adenosine. This protein also interacts with netrin-1, which is involved in axon elongation. The gene is located near the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
