Descriptor receptores adrenérgicos alfa-2
Entry term(s) receptores alfa-2 adrenérgicos
Scope note: Subclase de receptores alfa-adrenérgicos (RECEPTORES ADRENÉRGICOS ALFA). Los receptores adrenérgicos alfa-2 pueden discriminarse farmacológicamente, es decir, mediante su alta afinidad para el agonista clonidina y el antagonista yohimbina. Se encuentran en las células beta del páncreas, plaquetas, y el MÚSCULO LISO VASCULAR, así como en las terminaciones presinápticas y postsinápticas del sistema nervioso central y periférico.

Scope note: A subclass of alpha-adrenergic receptors found on both presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes where they signal through Gi-Go G-PROTEINS. While postsynaptic alpha-2 receptors play a traditional role in mediating the effects of ADRENERGIC AGONISTS, the subset of alpha-2 receptors found on presynaptic membranes signal the feedback inhibition of NEUROTRANSMITTER release.
