General Information of HIF (ID: HIFM0002)
HIF Name
Adenosine receptor A2a
HIF Synonym(s)
ADORA2A, Adenosine A2A Receptor, A2aR
HIF Classification
Checkpoint molecule (CM)
Molecular Function
G-protein coupled receptor; Receptor; Transducer
Description Adenosine receptor A2a is a G-protein-coupled receptor that is a major target of caffeine and important for regulating myocardial oxygen consumption, coronary blood flow, and CNS neurotransmitters, thus a receptor of interest for new drug development. [1]
