ADRA1D
Adra1D: A Versatile Receptor with Therapeutic Potential
Description:
Adra1D is an adrenergic receptor, a type of protein found in the body that responds to the hormone adrenaline (epinephrine). It is primarily located in the central nervous system, blood vessels, and heart. Adra1D belongs to the alpha-adrenergic receptor family and mediates the effects of adrenaline on these tissues.
Associated Diseases:
Dysregulation of Adra1D signaling has been implicated in several diseases, including:
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Obesity
- Anxiety and depression
- Parkinson‘s disease
- Alzheimer‘s disease
Did you Know ?
Adra1D is the most abundant alpha-adrenergic receptor in the human brain, accounting for approximately 70% of all alpha-adrenergic receptors. This highlights its significant role in regulating central nervous system functions.
