α1D-adrenergic
The alpha-1D adrenergic receptor (α1D adrenoreceptor), also known as ADRA1D, is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it. 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 and different subtypes show different patterns of activation. They activate mitogenic responses and regulate growth and proliferation of many cells. Gene This gene encodes alpha-1D-adrenergic receptor. Similar to alpha-1B-adrenergic receptor gene, this gene comprises 2 exons and a single intron that interrupts the coding region. Ligands Many α1 receptor ligands are non-selective for receptor subtypes. ; Antagonists * A-315456 * BMY 7378 (also α2C antagonist) * Domesticine * Cyclazosin (slight α1C selectivity) * Tamsulosin (roughly equal affinity for α1A) See also *Adrenergic receptor The adrenergic receptors or adrenoceptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors ...

Alpha-1 Adrenergic Receptor
alpha-1 (α1) adrenergic are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) associated with the Gq alpha subunit, Gq heterotrimeric G protein. α1-adrenergic receptors are subdivided into three highly homologous subtypes, i.e., α1A-adrenergic, α1A-, α1B-adrenergic, α1B-, and α1D-adrenergic, α1D-adrenergic receptor subtypes. There is no α1C receptor. At one time, there was a subtype known as α1C, but it was found to be identical to the previously discovered α1A receptor subtype. To avoid confusion, naming was continued with the letter D. Catecholamines like norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) signal through the α1-adrenergic receptors in the central nervous system, central and peripheral nervous systems. The crystal structure of the α1B-adrenergic receptor subtype has been determined in complex with the inverse agonist (+)-cyclazosin. Effects The α1-adrenergic receptor has several general functions in common with the Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor, α2-adrene ...
