SYNONYMS

Subtype C2; Alpha-2BAR; Alpha-2B adrenoreceptor; Alpha-2B adrenoceptor; Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor; Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor subtype C2; ADRA2RL1; ADRA2L1

FUNCTION

The rank order of potency for agonists of this receptor is clonidine > norepinephrine > epinephrine = oxymetazoline > dopamine > p-tyramine = phenylephrine > serotonin > p-synephrine / p-octopamine. For antagonists, the rank order is yohimbine > chlorpromazine > phentolamine > mianserine > spiperone > prazosin > alprenolol > propanolol > pindolol. Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins.
