Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1
–
Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BAI1 gene. It is a member of the family of receptors. Angiogenesis is controlled by a balance between stimulators and inhibitors of new vessel growth and is suppressed under normal physiologic conditions. Angiogenesis has been shown to be essential for growth and metastasis of solid tumors, BAI1 contains at least one functional p53-binding site within an intron, and its expression has been shown to be induced by wildtype p53. BAI1 is postulated to be a member of the secretin receptor family, an inhibitor of angiogenesis, brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 has been shown to interact with BAIAP3 and MAGI1. Model organisms have been used in the study of BAI1 function, a conditional knockout mouse line called Bai1tm2aWtsi was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

The National Center for Biotechnology Information is part of the United States National Library of Medicine, a branch of the National Institutes of Health. The NCBI is located in Bethesda, Maryland and was founded in 1988 through legislation sponsored by Senator Claude Pepper, the NCBI houses a series of databases relevant to biotechnology and biomedicine and is an important resource for bioinformatics tools and services. Major databases include GenBank for DNA sequences and PubMed, a database for the biomedical literature. Other databases include the NCBI Epigenomics database, all these databases are available online through the Entrez search engine. NCBI is directed by David Lipman, one of the authors of the BLAST sequence alignment program. He also leads a research program, including groups led by Stephen Altschul, David Landsman, Eugene Koonin, John Wilbur, Teresa Przytycka. NCBI is listed in the Registry of Research Data Repositories re3data. org, NCBI has had responsibility for making available the GenBank DNA sequence database since 1992. GenBank coordinates with individual laboratories and other databases such as those of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. Since 1992, NCBI has grown to other databases in addition to GenBank. The NCBI assigns a unique identifier to each species of organism, the NCBI has software tools that are available by WWW browsing or by FTP. For example, BLAST is a sequence similarity searching program, BLAST can do sequence comparisons against the GenBank DNA database in less than 15 seconds. RAG2/IL2RG The NCBI Bookshelf is a collection of freely accessible, downloadable, some of the books are online versions of previously published books, while others, such as Coffee Break, are written and edited by NCBI staff. BLAST is a used for calculating sequence similarity between biological sequences such as nucleotide sequences of DNA and amino acid sequences of proteins. BLAST is a tool for finding sequences similar to the query sequence within the same organism or in different organisms. It searches the query sequence on NCBI databases and servers and post the results back to the browser in chosen format. Input sequences to the BLAST are mostly in FASTA or Genbank format while output could be delivered in variety of such as HTML, XML formatting. HTML is the output format for NCBIs web-page. Entrez is both indexing and retrieval system having data from sources for biomedical research

UniProt
–
UniProt is a freely accessible database of protein sequence and functional information, many entries being derived from genome sequencing projects. It contains an amount of information about the biological function of proteins derived from the research literature. The UniProt consortium comprises the European Bioinformatics Institute, the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, EBI, located at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton, UK, hosts a large resource of bioinformatics databases and services. SIB, located in Geneva, Switzerland, maintains the ExPASy servers that are a resource for proteomics tools. In 2002, EBI, SIB, and PIR joined forces as the UniProt consortium, each consortium member is heavily involved in protein database maintenance and annotation. Until recently, EBI and SIB together produced the Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL databases and these databases coexisted with differing protein sequence coverage and annotation priorities. Swiss-Prot aimed to provide reliable protein sequences associated with a level of annotation. Recognizing that sequence data were being generated at a pace exceeding Swiss-Prots ability to keep up, meanwhile, PIR maintained the PIR-PSD and related databases, including iProClass, a database of protein sequences and curated families. The consortium members pooled their resources and expertise, and launched UniProt in December 2003. UniProt provides four core databases, UniProtKB, UniParc, UniRef, UniProt Knowledgebase is a protein database partially curated by experts, consisting of two sections, UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and UniProtKB/TrEMBL. As of 19 March 2014, release 2014_03 of UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot contains 542,782 sequence entries, UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot is a manually annotated, non-redundant protein sequence database. It combines information extracted from literature and biocurator-evaluated computational analysis. The aim of UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot is to all known relevant information about a particular protein. Annotation is regularly reviewed to keep up with current scientific findings, the manual annotation of an entry involves detailed analysis of the protein sequence and of the scientific literature. Sequences from the gene and the same species are merged into the same database entry. Differences between sequences are identified, and their cause documented, a range of sequence analysis tools is used in the annotation of UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot entries. Computer-predictions are manually evaluated, and relevant results selected for inclusion in the entry and these predictions include post-translational modifications, transmembrane domains and topology, signal peptides, domain identification, and protein family classification. Relevant publications are identified by searching databases such as PubMed, the full text of each paper is read, and information is extracted and added to the entry

Locus (genetics)
–
A locus in genetics is the position on a chromosome. Each chromosome carries many genes, humans estimated haploid protein coding genes are 19, 000-20,000, a variant of the similar DNA sequence located at a given locus is called an allele. The ordered list of known for a particular genome is called a gene map. Gene mapping is the process of determining the locus for a biological trait. The chromosomal locus of a gene might be written 3p22.1, here 3 means chromosome 3, p means p-arm. And 22 refers to region 2, band 2 and this is read as two two, not as twenty-two. So the entire locus is read as three P two two point one, the cytogenetic bands are counting from the centromere out toward the telomeres. A range of loci is specified in a similar way. For example, the locus of gene OCA1 may be written 11q1. 4-q2.1, meaning it is on the arm of chromosome 11. The ends of a chromosome are labeled pter and qter, a centisome is defined as 1% of a chromosome length. Chromosomal translocation Cytogenetic notation Karyotype Null allele Michael, R.

Chromosome 1 (human)
–
Chromosome 1 is the designation for the largest human chromosome. Humans have two copies of chromosome 1, as they do all of the autosomes, which are the non-sex chromosomes. Chromosome 1 spans about 249 million nucleotide pairs, which are the basic units of information for DNA. It represents about 9% of the total DNA in human cells, identifying genes on each chromosome is an active area of genetic research. Because researchers use different approaches to genome annotation their predictions of the number of genes on each chromosome varies, in January 2017, two estimates differed by 12%, with one estimate giving 5,078 genes, and the other estimate giving 4,474 genes. It was the last completed chromosome, sequenced two decades after the beginning of the Human Genome Project, some of these diseases are hearing loss, Alzheimer disease, glaucoma and breast cancer. Rearrangements and mutations of chromosome 1 are prevalent in cancer and many other diseases, patterns of sequence variation reveal signals of recent selection in specific genes that may contribute to human fitness, and also in regions where no function is evident.

PubMed Identifier
–
PubMed is a free search engine accessing primarily the MEDLINE database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics. The United States National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health maintains the database as part of the Entrez system of information retrieval, from 1971 to 1997, MEDLINE online access to the MEDLARS Online computerized database primarily had been through institutional facilities, such as university libraries. PubMed, first released in January 1996, ushered in the era of private, free, home-, the PubMed system was offered free to the public in June 1997, when MEDLINE searches via the Web were demonstrated, in a ceremony, by Vice President Al Gore. Information about the journals indexed in MEDLINE, and available through PubMed, is found in the NLM Catalog. As of 5 January 2017, PubMed has more than 26.8 million records going back to 1966, selectively to the year 1865, and very selectively to 1809, about 500,000 new records are added each year. As of the date,13.1 million of PubMeds records are listed with their abstracts. In 2016, NLM changed the system so that publishers will be able to directly correct typos. Simple searches on PubMed can be carried out by entering key aspects of a subject into PubMeds search window, when a journal article is indexed, numerous article parameters are extracted and stored as structured information. Such parameters are, Article Type, Secondary identifiers, Language, publication type parameter enables many special features. As these clinical girish can generate small sets of robust studies with considerable precision, since July 2005, the MEDLINE article indexing process extracts important identifiers from the article abstract and puts those in a field called Secondary Identifier. The secondary identifier field is to store numbers to various databases of molecular sequence data, gene expression or chemical compounds. For clinical trials, PubMed extracts trial IDs for the two largest trial registries, ClinicalTrials. gov and the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Register, a reference which is judged particularly relevant can be marked and related articles can be identified. If relevant, several studies can be selected and related articles to all of them can be generated using the Find related data option, the related articles are then listed in order of relatedness. To create these lists of related articles, PubMed compares words from the title and abstract of each citation, as well as the MeSH headings assigned, using a powerful word-weighted algorithm. The related articles function has been judged to be so precise that some researchers suggest it can be used instead of a full search, a strong feature of PubMed is its ability to automatically link to MeSH terms and subheadings. Examples would be, bad breath links to halitosis, heart attack to myocardial infarction, where appropriate, these MeSH terms are automatically expanded, that is, include more specific terms. Terms like nursing are automatically linked to Nursing or Nursing and this important feature makes PubMed searches automatically more sensitive and avoids false-negative hits by compensating for the diversity of medical terminology. The My NCBI area can be accessed from any computer with web-access, an earlier version of My NCBI was called PubMed Cubby

Cell surface receptor
–
Cell surface receptors are receptors that are embedded in the membranes of cells. They act in signaling by receiving extracellular molecules. They are specialized integral membrane proteins that allow communication between the cell and the extracellular space, in the process of signal transduction, ligand binding affects a cascading chemical change through the cell membrane. Transmembrane receptors are classified based on their tertiary structure. But, if the structure is yet undiscovered, then they can be classified based on experimentally verifiable membrane topology. The simplest polypeptide chains are found to cross the lipid bilayer once, while others, such as the G-protein coupled receptors, there are various kinds, such as glycoprotein and lipoprotein. Hundreds of different receptors are known and many more have yet to be studied, many membrane receptors include transmembrane proteins. Each cell membrane can have several kinds of receptor, in varying surface distribution. A specific receptor may also be distributed on different membrane surfaces, depending on the membrane sort. Since receptors usually cluster on the surface, the placement of every receptor on each membrane surface is heterogeneous. Two current models have been proposed to explain transmembrane receptors mechanism, dimerization, This dimerization model suggests that prior to ligand binding, receptors exist in a monomeric form. When contact occurs with a ligand, receptors bind together to form a dimer, prior to ligand binding, the extracellular protein loses flexibility while the intracellular portion gains it. Like any integral membrane protein, a receptor may be divided into three domains. The extracellular domain juts externally from the cell or organelle, if the polypeptide chain crosses the bilayer several times, the external domain comprises loops entwined through the membrane. By definition, a main function is to recognize and respond to a type of ligand. For example, a neurotransmitter, hormone, or atomic ions may bind to the extracellular domain as a ligand coupled to receptor. Klotho is an enzyme which effects a receptor to recognize the ligand, in the majority of receptors with known structures, transmembrane alpha helices constitute most of the transmembrane component. In certain receptors, such as the nicotinic receptor, the transmembrane domain forms a protein pore through the membrane

Rhodopsin-like receptors
–
Rhodopsin-like receptors are a family of proteins that comprise the largest group of G protein-coupled receptors. G-protein-coupled receptors, GPCRs, constitute a vast protein family that encompasses a range of functions. They show considerable diversity at the level, on the basis of which they can be separated into distinct groups. There is a database for GPCRs. Rhodopsin-like GPCRs have been classified into the following 19 subgroups based on a phylogenetic analysis

Rhodopsin
–
Rhodopsin is a light-sensitive receptor protein involved in visual phototransduction. It is named after ancient Greek ῥόδον for “rose”, due to its pinkish color, Rhodopsin is a biological pigment found in the rods of the retina and is a G-protein-coupled receptor. Rhodopsin is extremely sensitive to light, and thus enables vision in low-light conditions, when rhodopsin is exposed to light, it immediately photobleaches. In humans, it is regenerated fully in about 30 minutes, Rhodopsin was discovered by Franz Christian Boll in 1876. Rhodopsin consists of a protein moiety also called scotopsin, which binds covalently a cofactor called retinal, opsins are G protein coupled receptors and have seven transmembrane domains. The seven transmembrane domains form a pocket, where the retinal binds to a residue in the seventh transmembrane domain. The retinal lies horizontally to the cell membrane, and the cell membrane lipid bilayer embeds half of the rhodopsin. Thousands of rhodopsin molecules are found in outer segment disc of the host rod cell. Retinol is produced in the retina from Vitamin A, from dietary beta-carotene, Rhodopsin of the rods most strongly absorbs green-blue light and, therefore, appears reddish-purple, which is why it is also called visual purple. It is responsible for vision in the dark. Several closely related opsins exist that only in a few amino acids. Humans have eight different other opsins besides rhodopsin, as well as cryptochrome, the photopsins are found in the different types of the cone cells of the retina and are the basis of color vision. They have absorption maxima for yellowish-green, green, and bluish-violet light, the remaining opsin is found in photosensitive ganglion cells and absorbs blue light most strongly. In rhodopsin, the group of retinal is covalently linked to the amino group of a lysine residue on the protein in a protonated Schiff base. The intermediates formed during this process were first investigated in the laboratory of George Wald, the photoisomerization dynamics has been subsequently investigated with time-resolved IR spectroscopy and UV/Vis spectroscopy. A first photoproduct called photorhodopsin forms within 200 femtoseconds after irradiation and this intermediate can be trapped and studied at cryogenic temperatures, and was initially referred to as prelumirhodopsin. In subsequent intermediates lumirhodopsin and metarhodopsin I, the Schiffs base linkage to all-trans retinal remains protonated, the structure of rhodopsin has been studied in detail via x-ray crystallography on rhodopsin crystals. Several models attempt to explain how the group can change its conformation without clashing with the enveloping rhodopsin protein pocket

Neurotransmitter receptor
–
A neurotransmitter receptor is a membrane receptor protein that is activated by a neurotransmitter. A membrane protein interacts with the bilayer that encloses the cell and a membrane receptor protein interacts with a chemical in the cells external environment. Membrane receptor proteins, in neuronal and glial cells, allow cells to communicate with one another through chemical signals, in postsynaptic cells, neurotransmitter receptors receive signals that trigger an electrical signal, by regulating the activity of ion channels. The influx of ions through ion channels opened due to the binding of neurotransmitters to specific receptors can change the potential of a neuron. This can result in a signal that runs along the axon and is passed along at a synapse to another neuron, on presynaptic cells, there can be receptor sites specific to the neurotransmitters released by that cell, which provide feedback and mediate excessive neurotransmitter release from it. There are two types of receptors, ligand-gated receptors or ionotropic receptors and G protein-coupled receptors or metabotropic receptors. Ligand-gated receptors can be excited by neurotransmitters like glutamate and aspartate and these receptors can also be inhibited by neurotransmitters like GABA and glycine. Conversely, G protein-coupled receptors are neither excitatory nor inhibitory, rather, they modulate the actions of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. Most neurotransmitters receptors are G-protein coupled, ligand-gated ion channels are one type of ionotropic receptor or channel-linked receptor. They are a group of ion channels that are opened or closed in response to the binding of a chemical messenger. The binding site of endogenous ligands on LGICs protein complexes are located on a different portion of the protein compared to where the ion conduction pore is located. LGICs are also different from voltage-gated ion channels, and stretch-activated ion channels, G protein-coupled receptors are found only in eukaryotes, including yeast, choanoflagellates, and animals. G protein-coupled receptors are involved in diseases, and are also the target of approximately 30% of all modern medicinal drugs. There are two principal signal transduction pathways involving the G protein-coupled receptors, the signal pathway and the phosphatidylinositol signal pathway. When a ligand binds to the GPCR it causes a change in the GPCR. The GPCR can then activate an associated G-protein by exchanging its bound GDP for a GTP, Neurotransmitter receptors are subject to ligand-induced desensitization, That is, they can become unresponsive upon prolonged exposure to their neurotransmitter. In addition to being found in cells, neurotransmitter receptors are also found in various immune. Many neurotransmitter receptors are categorized as a receptor or G protein-coupled receptor because they span the cell membrane not once

Adrenergic receptor
–
The adrenergic receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of the catecholamines, especially norepinephrine and epinephrine. Many cells possess these receptors, and the binding of a catecholamine to the receptor will generally stimulate the nervous system. By the turn of the 19th century, it was agreed that the stimulation of sympathetic nerves could cause different effects on body tissues, the second hypothesis found support from 1906 to 1913, when Henry Dale explored the effects of adrenaline, injected into animals, on blood pressure. Usually, adrenaline would increase the pressure of these animals. Although, if the animal had been exposed to ergotoxine, the pressure decreased. This mixed response, with the same compound causing either contraction or relaxation, was conceived of as the response of different types of junctions to the same compound and this again supported the argument that the muscles had two different mechanisms by which they could respond to the same compound. In June of that year, Raymond Ahlquist, Professor of Pharmacology at Medical College of Georgia, in it, he explicitly named the different responses as due to what he called α receptors and β receptors, and that the only sympathetic transmitter was adrenaline. While the latter conclusion was subsequently shown to be incorrect, his receptor nomenclature, there are two main groups of adrenergic receptors, α and β, with several subtypes. α receptors have the subtypes α1 and α2, phenylephrine is a selective agonist of the α receptor. β receptors have the subtypes β1, β2 and β3, all three are linked to Gs proteins, which in turn are linked to adenylate cyclase. Agonist binding thus causes a rise in the concentration of the second messenger cAMP. Downstream effectors of cAMP include cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which some of the intracellular events following hormone binding. Epinephrine reacts with both α- and β-adrenoreceptors, causing vasoconstriction and vasodilation, respectively, the result is that high levels of circulating epinephrine cause vasoconstriction. At lower levels of circulating epinephrine, β-adrenoreceptor stimulation dominates, producing vasodilation followed by decrease of peripheral vascular resistance, Smooth muscle behavior is variable depending on anatomical location. Smooth muscle contraction/relaxation is generalized below, one important note is the differential effects of increased cAMP in smooth muscle compared to cardiac muscle. Increased cAMP will promote relaxation in smooth muscle, while promoting increased contractility, at one time, there was a subtype known as C, but was found to be identical to one of the previously discovered subtypes. To avoid confusion, naming was continued with the letter D. α receptors have several functions in common, common effects include, Vasoconstriction of veins Decrease motility of smooth muscle in gastrointestinal tract α1-adrenergic receptors are members of the Gq protein-coupled receptor superfamily. Upon activation, a heterotrimeric G protein, Gq, activates phospholipase C, the PLC cleaves phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate, which in turn causes an increase in inositol triphosphate and diacylglycerol

The alpha-1A adrenergic receptor, also known as ADRA1A, formerly known also as the alpha-1C adrenergic receptor, is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it. There is no longer a subtype 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, the convention was continued with the letter D. There are 3 alpha-1 adrenergic receptor subtypes, alpha-1A, -1B and -1D, different subtypes show different patterns of activation. The majority of receptors are directed toward the function of epinephrine.

Beta-1 adrenergic receptor
–
The beta-1 adrenergic receptor, also known as ADRB1, is a beta-adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it. It is a G-protein coupled receptor associated with the Gs heterotrimeric G-protein and is expressed predominantly in cardiac tissue, increases contractility and automaticity of ventricular cardiac muscle. Increases conduction and automaticity of atrioventricular node Renin release from juxtaglomerular cells, relaxation of the urinary bladder wall Receptor also present in cerebral cortex. Isoprenaline has higher affinity for β1 than adrenaline, which, in turn, specific polymorphisms in the ADRB1 gene have been shown to affect the resting heart rate and can be involved in heart failure. Beta-1 adrenergic receptor has shown to interact with DLG4 and GIPC1.

Beta-2 adrenergic receptor
–
Unlike other adrenergic receptors, norepinephrine does not produce β2 receptor stimulation. The official symbol for the gene encoding the β2 adrenoreceptor is ADRB2. Different polymorphic forms, point mutations, and/or downregulation of gene are associated with nocturnal asthma, obesity. An alternative method, involving production of a protein with an agonist. This receptor is associated with one of its ultimate effectors. Protein kinase A then goes on to phosphorylate myosin light chain kinase, the assembly of the signaling complex provides a mechanism that ensures specific and rapid signaling. A two-state biophysical and molecular model has been proposed to account for the pH and REDOX sensitivity of this, beta-2 Adrenergic Receptors have also been found to couple with Gs, possibly providing a mechanism by which response to ligand is highly localized within cells. In contrast, Beta-1 Adrenergic Receptors are coupled only to Gs and this appears to be mediated by cAMP induced PKA phosphorylation of the receptor. Actions of the β2 receptor include, Heart muscle contraction Increases cardiac output, Increases heart rate in sinoatrial node. Increases contractility and automaticity of ventricular cardiac muscle, in glaucoma, drainage is reduced or blocked completely.

Purinergic receptor
–
Purinergic receptors, also known as purinoceptors, are a family of plasma membrane molecules that are found in almost all mammalian tissues. Within the field of purinergic signalling, these receptors have been implicated in learning and memory, locomotor and feeding behavior, more specifically, they are involved in several cellular functions, including proliferation and migration of neural stem cells, vascular reactivity, apoptosis and cytokine secretion. These functions have not been characterized and the effect of the extracellular microenvironment on their function is also poorly understood. P2 receptors have further divided into five subclasses, P2X, P2Y, P2Z, P2U. To distinguish P2 receptors further, the subclasses have been divided into families of metabotropic and ionotropic receptors, in 2014, the first purinergic receptor in plants, DORN1, was discovered. There are three distinct classes of purinergic receptors, known as P1, P2X, and P2Y receptors. P2X receptors are ligand-gated ion channels, whereas the P1 and P2Y receptors are G protein-coupled receptors and these ligand-gated ion channels are nonselective cation channels responsible for mediating excitatory postsynaptic responses, similar to nicotinic and ionotropic glutamate receptors. These receptors are greatly distributed in neurons and glial cells throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, P2X receptors mediate a large variety of responses including fast transmission at central synapses, contraction of smooth muscle cells, platelet aggregation, macrophage activation, and apoptosis. Both of these receptors are distinguished by their reactivity to specific activators. P1 receptors are activated by adenosine and P2Y receptors are preferentially more activated by ATP. P1 and P2Y receptors are known to be distributed in the brain, heart, kidneys. Xanthines specifically block adenosine receptors, and are known to induce an effect to ones behavior. Inhibitors of purinergic receptors include clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticlopidine, as well as ticagrelor, all of these are antiplatelet agents that block P2Y12 receptors. Data obtained from using P2 receptor-selective antagonists has produced evidence supporting ATPs ability to initiate and this recent knowledge of purinergic receptors effects on chronic pain provide promise in discovering a drug that specifically targets individual P2 receptor subtypes. While some P2 receptor-selective compounds have proven useful in preclinical trials, recent research has identified a role for microglial P2X receptors in neuropathic pain and inflammatory pain, especially the P2X4 and P2X7 receptors. Purinergic receptors have been suggested to play a role in the treatment of cytotoxic edema, further pharmacological evidence has suggested that 2MeSADP protection is controlled by enhanced astrocyte mitochondrial metabolism through increased inositol triphosphate-dependent calcium release. There is evidence suggesting a relationship between the levels of ATP and cytotoxic edema, where low ATP levels are associated with a prevalence of cytotoxic edema. It is believed that play an essential role in the metabolism of astrocyte energy within the penumbra of ischemic lesions

Adenosine receptor
–
The adenosine receptors are a class of purinergic G protein-coupled receptors with adenosine as endogenous ligand. In humans, there are four types of adenosine receptors, each is encoded by a separate gene and has different functions, although with some overlap. The adenosine A1 receptor has been found to be throughout the entire body. This receptor has a function on most of the tissues in which it is expressed. In the brain, it slows metabolic activity by a combination of actions, presynaptically, it reduces synaptic vesicle release while post synaptically it has been found to stabilize the magnesium on the NMDA receptor. Specific A1 antagonists include 8-Cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine, and Cyclopentyltheophylline or 8-cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine, tecadenoson is an effective A1 adenosine agonist, as is selodenoson. The A1, together with A2A receptors of endogenous adenosine play a role in regulating myocardial oxygen consumption, stimulation of the A1 receptor has a myocardial depressant effect by decreasing the conduction of electrical impulses and suppressing pacemaker cell function, resulting in a decrease in heart rate. This makes adenosine a useful medication for treating and diagnosing tachyarrhythmias and this effect on the A1 receptor also explains why there is a brief moment of cardiac standstill when adenosine is administered as a rapid IV push during cardiac resuscitation. The rapid infusion causes a momentary myocardial stunning effect, in normal physiological states, this serves as a protective mechanism. Theophylline and caffeine are nonselective adenosine antagonists that are used to stimulate respiration in premature infants, adenosine receptors play a key role in the homeostasis of bone. The A1 receptor has shown to stimulate osteoclast differentiation and function. Studies have found that blockade of the A1 Receptor suppresses the osteoclast function, as with the A1, the A2A receptors are believed to play a role in regulating myocardial oxygen consumption and coronary blood flow. The activity of A2A adenosine receptor, a G-protein coupled receptor family member, is mediated by G proteins that activate adenylyl cyclase and it is abundant in basal ganglia, vasculature and platelets and it is a major target of caffeine. The A2A receptor is responsible for regulating blood flow by vasodilating the coronary arteries, which increases blood flow to the myocardium. Just as in A1 receptors, this serves as a protective mechanism. Specific antagonists include istradefylline and SCH-58261, while specific agonists include CGS-21680, the role of A2A receptor opposes that of A1 in that it inhibits osteoclast differentiation and activates osteoblasts. Studies have shown it to be effective in decreasing inflammatory osteolysis in inflamed bone and this role could potentiate new therapeutic treatment in aid of bone regeneration and increasing bone volume. This integral membrane protein stimulates adenylate cyclase activity in the presence of adenosine and this protein also interacts with netrin-1, which is involved in axon elongation

Adenosine A1 receptor
–
The adenosine A1 receptor is one member of the adenosine receptor group of G protein-coupled receptors with adenosine as endogenous ligand. A1 receptors are implicated in sleep promotion by inhibiting wake-promoting cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain, A1 receptors are also present in smooth muscle throughout the vascular system. The adenosine A1 receptor has been found to be throughout the entire body. Activation of the adenosine A1 receptor by an agonist causes binding of Gi1/2/3 or Go protein, binding of Gi1/2/3 causes an inhibition of adenylate cyclase and, therefore, a decrease in the cAMP concentration. Several types of channels are activated but N-, P-. This receptor has a function on most of the tissues in which it rests. In the brain, it slows metabolic activity by a combination of actions, at the neurons synapse, it reduces synaptic vesicle release. Caffeine, as well as theophylline, has found to antagonize both A1 and A2A receptors in the brain. N6-Cyclopentyladenosine N-cyclohexyladenosine Tecadenoson is an effective A1 adenosine agonist, as is selodenoson, stimulation of the A1 receptor has a myocardial depressant effect by decreasing the conduction of electrical impulses and suppressing pacemaker cell function, resulting in a decrease in heart rate. This makes adenosine a useful medication for treating and diagnosing tachyarrhythmias and this effect on the A1 receptor also explains why there is a brief moment of cardiac standstill when adenosine is administered as a rapid IV push during cardiac resuscitation. The rapid infusion causes a momentary myocardial stunning effect, in normal physiological states, this serves as protective mechanisms. Theophylline and caffeine are nonselective adenosine antagonists that are used to stimulate respiration in premature infants, however, we are unaware of clinical studies that have examined the incidence of periventricular leukomalacia as related to neonatal caffeine use. Caffeine may reduce blood flow in premature infants, it is presumed by blocking vascular A2 ARs. Thus, it may prove advantageous to use selective A1 antagonists to help reduce adenosine-induced brain injury.

The activity of the protein, a G protein-coupled receptor family member, is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. The encoded protein is abundant in basal ganglia, vasculature, T lymphocytes, and platelets and it is a target of caffeine. As with the A1, the A2A receptors are believed to play a role in regulating myocardial oxygen consumption, in addition, A2A receptor can negatively regulate overreactive immune cells, thereby protecting tissues from collateral inflammatory damage. The A2A receptor is responsible for regulating blood flow by vasodilating the coronary arteries, which increases blood flow to the myocardium. Just as in A1 receptors, this serves as a protective mechanism. A number of selective A2A ligands have been developed, with possible therapeutic applications. Adenosine A2A receptor has shown to interact with Dopamine receptor D2.

P2Y12
–
In the field of purinergic signaling, the P2Y12 protein is found mainly but not exclusively on the surface of blood platelets, and is an important regulator in blood clotting. P2Y12 belongs to the Gi class of a group of G protein-coupled purinergic receptors and is a chemoreceptor for adenosine diphosphate and this P2Y receptor family has several receptor subtypes with different pharmacological selectivity, which overlaps in some cases, for various adenosine and uridine nucleotides. The P2Y12 receptor is involved in platelet aggregation and is thus a target for the treatment of thromboembolisms. Two transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been identified for this gene, the drugs clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, and cangrelor bind to this receptor and are marketed as antiplatelet agents. P2Y12 inhibitors do not change the risk of death given as a pretreatment prior to routine percutaneous coronary intervention in people who have had a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Though, a P2Y12 inhibitor in addition to aspirin should be administered for up to 12 months to most patients with acute coronary syndrome. They do however increase the risk of bleeding and decrease the risk of cardiovascular problems. Thus their routine use in context is of questionable value. In patients undergoing primary PCI for an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, the use of clopidogrel in particular has been shown to improve morbidity and mortality endpoints including cardiovascular death, recurrent MI, and stroke at 30 days after PCI.
