Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptors
Description
Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptors are a type of Alpha Adrenergic Receptor.
Biological Function of Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptors
Cardiovascular System
Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptors are located on Platelets (in the Blood) and stimulation of Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptors on Platelets initiates the process of Blood Clotting.
Metabolism
Stimulation of Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptors inhibits the secretion of Insulin.
Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptors are located on Adipocytes (and are especially prolific on Adipocytes in the lower half of the body - the lower half of the female body contains nine times the number of Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptors compared to Beta-1 Adrenergic Receptors):
