      α1A Adrenergic Receptor
      OverviewHuman α1A
      Background InformationThe endogenous catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine have profound effects on smooth muscle activity, cardiac function, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, hormone secretion, neurotransmitter release, and central nervous system actions. These activities are mediated by GPCRs belonging to two subfamilies, the α- and β-adrenoceptors (Bylund et al., 1994). The three members of the α1 subclass of adrenoceptors, α1A, α1B and α1D, couple to Gq, and promote contraction of vascular and urinary tract smooth muscle, relaxation of intestinal smooth muscle, increased contractile force in the heart, and glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver. The different subtypes have overlapping distributions and variably contribute to these effects depending on species and tissue; the α1A subtype plays a prominent role in urogenital smooth muscle contraction and renal artery contraction (Hrometz et al., 1999; Ruffolo and Hieble, 1999). Activation of α1 adrenoceptors also influences cell proliferation; α1A inhibits cell growth by arresting progression at the G1/S transition (Shibata et al., 2003). Chemicon's α1A membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of antagonists of α1A interactions with prazosin. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 1.34 nM for [3H]-prazosin. With 5 µg/well α1A Membrane Prep and 1 nM [3H]-prazosin, a greater than 7-fold signal-to-background ratio was obtained.

      Biological Information
      Entrez Gene Number
      Entrez Gene SummaryAlpha-1-adrenergic receptors (alpha-1-ARs) are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. They activate mitogenic responses and regulate growth and proliferation of many cells. There are 3 alpha-1-AR subtypes: alpha-1A, -1B and -1D, all of which signal through the Gq/11 family of G-proteins and different subtypes show different patterns of activation. This gene encodes alpha-1A-adrenergic receptor. Alternative splicing of this gene generates four transcript variants, which encode four different isoforms with distinct C-termini but having similar ligand binding properties.

      UniProt Number
      UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P35348 # This alpha-adrenergic receptor mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol- calcium second messenger system. Its effect is mediated by G(q) and G(11) proteins.
      SIZE: 466 amino acids; 51487 Da
      SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
      TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Heart, brain, liver and prostate, but not in kidney, lung, adrenal, aorta and pituitary. Isoform 4 is the most abundant isoform expressed in the prostate with high levels also detected in liver and heart.
      PTM: Carboxyl-terminal Ser or Thr residues may be phosphorylated (By similarity).
      SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P35348 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
      Incubation ConditionsMembranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, a GF/C 96-well filter plate is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.

      Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C


      Radioligand: [3H] prazosin (Perkin Elmer # NET823)


      Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.
