alfa2Areseptorit
Alfa2-adrenoseptorit, commonly referred to as alpha-2 receptors, are a type of G protein-coupled receptor found in the central and peripheral nervous systems. They are a subtype of adrenergic receptors, which bind to the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine. There are three main subtypes of alpha-2 receptors: alpha2A, alpha2B, and alpha2C. These receptors play a crucial role in regulating a variety of physiological processes.
In the central nervous system, activation of alpha-2 receptors, particularly alpha2A, leads to a decrease in
In the periphery, alpha-2 receptors are found on presynaptic nerve terminals. Their activation inhibits the release
