Somatostatin receptor 2a has a shorter transcript, but is longer than somatostatin receptor 2b and has a unique C- terminus compared to Somatostatin Receptor 2b. [38] SSTRB receptor has approximately 300 nucleotides between carboxyl terminus and transmembrane segments fewer than the original Somatostatin receptor 2.
The 5-HT 2A receptor is a subtype of the 5-HT 2 receptor that belongs to the serotonin receptor family and is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). [4] The 5-HT 2A receptor is a cell surface receptor, [5] but has several intracellular locations. [6] Like all 5-HT 2 receptors, the 5-HT 2A receptor is G q /G 11-protein coupled.
GRAM domain-containing 2A protein (GRAMD2A; formerly GRAMD2) is a protein encoded by the GRAMD2A gene. [5] Like GRAMD2B , the protein consists of a GRAM domain and a transmembrane domain that anchors it to the endoplasmic reticulum .
It consists of three highly homologous subtypes, including α 2A-, α 2B-, and α 2C-adrenergic. Some species other than humans express a fourth α 2D-adrenergic receptor as well. [1] Catecholamines like norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) signal through the α 2-adrenergic receptor in the central and peripheral nervous ...
Cyproheptadine blocks 5-HT 2A, H1 and is a mild anticholinergic. Methysergide is a 5-HT 2A antagonist and nonselective 5-HT 1 receptor blocker. It causes retroperitoneal fibrosis and mediastinal fibrosis. [citation needed] Quetiapine blocks 5-HT 2A, 5-HT 1A, dopamine receptors D 1 and D 2, histamine receptor H1, and A1 adrenoreceptors.
A crystal structure of the A 2A receptor bound with the agonist NECA and a G protein-mimic has been published in 2016 (PDB code: 5g53). [20] The encoded protein (the A 2A receptor) is abundant in basal ganglia, vasculature, T lymphocytes, and platelets and it is a major target of caffeine, which is a competitive antagonist of this protein.

Variants of the gene are associated with the protective effect of coffee on Parkinson's disease. [9] [10]Mutations in GRIN2A are associated to refractory epilepsy. [11]Whole exome/genome sequencing has led to the discovery of an association between mutations in GRIN2A and a wide variety of neurological diseases, including epilepsy, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders ...
