MECHANISM
Alpha1 Receptor Effects |
Alpha1 receptor effects are mediated primarily by the trimeric coupling protein Gq. When Gq is activated, the alpha moiety of this protein activates the enzyme phospholipase C, resulting in the release of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) from membrane lipids. Calcium is subsequently released from stores in smooth muscle cells by IP3, and enzymes are activated by DAG. Direct gating of calcium channels may also play a role in increasing intracellular calcium concentration.

MECHANISM
Alpha2 Receptor Effects |
Alpha2 receptor activation results in inhibition of adenylyl cyclase via the coupling protein Gi.

MECHANISM
Beta Receptor Effects |
Beta receptors (1, 2, and 3) stimulate adenylyl cyclase via the coupling protein Gs, which leads to an increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentration in the cell.

MECHANISM
Dopamine Receptor Effects |
Dopamine D1 receptors activate adenylyl cyclase via Gs in neurons and vascular smooth muscle. Dopamine D2 receptors are more important in the brain but probably also play a significant role as presynaptic receptors on peripheral nerves. These receptors act via Gi and reduce the synthesis of cAMP.
