The alpha-1A adrenergic receptor1A adrenoreceptor), also known as ADRA1A, formerly known as the alpha-1C adrenergic receptor,[1] is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it.[2]

Receptor

There are 3 alpha-1 adrenergic receptor subtypes: alpha-1A, -1B and -1D, all of which signal through the Gq/11 family of G-proteins. Different subtypes show different patterns of activation. The majority of alpha-1 receptors are directed toward the function of epinephrine, a hormone that has to do with the fight-or-flight response.

Gene

This gene encodes the alpha-1A-adrenergic receptor. Alternative splicing of this gene generates four transcript variants, which encode four different isoforms with distinct C-termini but having similar ligand binding properties.[2]

Role in neural circuits

α1A-adrenergic receptor subtypes increase inhibition at dendrodendritic synapses, suggesting a synaptic mechanism for noradrenergic modulation of olfactory driven behaviors.[7]
