Function
Alpha-1 adrenergic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors for catecholamines that signal through the G(q) family of G proteins, including G(q) and G(11). Upon activation, they stimulate the phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger pathway, leading to calcium release from intracellular stores and activation of protein kinase C. ADRA1A binds the catecholamine ligands norepinephrine and epinephrine.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Nucleus membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cytoplasm; Membrane, caveola
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in heart, brain, liver and prostate, but not in kidney, lung, adrenal, aorta and pituitary. Within the prostate, expressed in the apex, base, periurethral and lateral lobe. Isoform 4 is the most abundant isoform expressed in the prostate with high levels also detected in liver and heart
