NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, which is subdivided into classes and subtypes. The receptors are seven-pass transmembrane proteins that respond to extracellular cues and activate intracellular signal transduction pathways. This protein, an adenosine receptor of A2A subtype, uses adenosine as the preferred endogenous agonist and preferentially interacts with the G(s) and G(olf) family of G proteins to increase intracellular cAMP levels. It plays an important role in many biological functions, such as cardiac rhythm and circulation, cerebral and renal blood flow, immune function, pain regulation, and sleep. It has been implicated in pathophysiological conditions such as inflammatory diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A read-through transcript composed of the upstream SPECC1L (sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domains 1-like) and ADORA2A (adenosine A2a receptor) gene sequence has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding.

Uniprot Description
ADORA2A: one of several receptor subtypes for adenosine. A G-protein coupled receptor. Activation is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. Abundant in basal ganglia, vasculature and platelets and it is a major target of caffeine.

Product Notes
The Rat ADORA2a adora2a (Catalog #AAA761772) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA761772 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat ADORA2a. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Adenosine A2a Receptor, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
