Characterization and Expression of the Human A2a Adenosine Receptor Gene
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
The actions of the neurotransmitter adenosine are mediated by a family of high-affinity, G protein-coupled receptors. We have characterized the gene for the human A2a subtype of adenosine receptor (hA2aR) and determined levels of A2aR mRNA in human brain regions and nonneural tissues. Human genomic Southern blot analysis demonstrates the presence of a single gene encoding the hA2aR located on chromosome 22. Two...
