Adenosine Receptors
Also known as: P1 Receptors
Description
Adenosine Receptors are a specific type of Neurotransmitter Receptor located on Cell Membranes within the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System.
Biological Function of Adenosine Receptors
Nervous System
Adenosine Receptors bind to Adenosine within the Nervous System allowing Adenosine to function as an Neurotransmitters - Inhibitory.
Activation of Adenosine Receptors (by Adenosine) inhibits the release of numerous types of Neurotransmitters (including Acetylcholine, Dopamine, Gamma-Aminobenzoic Acid (GABA), Glutamic Acid and Norepinephrine).
