ADORA2B adenosine A2b receptor

Gene ID: 136, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ADORA2

Summary

This gene encodes an adenosine receptor that is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. This integral membrane protein stimulates adenylate cyclase activity in the presence of adenosine. This protein also interacts with netrin-1, which is involved in axon elongation. The gene is located near the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
