About ADRA2B

Cytogenetic location: 2q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:96,112,876-96,116,571 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 222 orthologues, 18 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes.

Summary

This intronless gene encodes a seven-pass transmembrane protein. This protein is a member of a subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors that regulate neurotransmitter release from sympathetic nerves and from adrenergic neurons in the central nervous system. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
