Gene information for ADORA2A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID135
Official gene symbolADORA2A
Full nameadenosine A2a receptor
Aliases,ADORA2,RDC8,hA2aR,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein which is one of several receptor subtypes for adenosine. The activity of the encoded protein, a G-protein coupled receptor family member, is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. The encoded protein is abundant in basal ganglia, vasculature and platelets and it is a major target of caffeine. [provided by RefSeq]
