Analysis of ADORA1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-0768-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: adenosine A1 receptor
Also known as: RDC7
The protein encoded by this gene is an adenosine receptor that belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family. There are three types of adenosine receptors, each with a specific pattern of ligand binding and tissue distribution, which collectively regulate a range of different physiological functions. Type A1 receptors inhibit adenylyl cyclase and play a role in fertilization. Animal studies also suggest a role for A1 receptors in renal function and alcoholism. Transcript variants with alternative splicing were found in the 5' UTR of this gene.
