Summary: Enables alpha2-adrenergic receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; MAPK cascade; and angiogenesis. Predicted to be located in cell surface; cytosol; and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; central nervous system; liver; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetic neuropathy; hypertension; myocardial infarction; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ADRA2B (adrenoceptor alpha 2B).

What's a GeneRIF?

alpha2B KO mice exhibit altered locomotor behaviors and compulsive burying behavior, are acutely sensitive to the stereotypy effects of the psychostimulant amphetamine; an identical tendency in alpha2C KO mice administered the alpha2B-receptor-selective antagonist AGN-209419 with amphetamine. Findings suggest a compulsive phenotype for alpha2B KO mice, and a broader role for the alpha2B receptor.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
