Description

ADORA1 encodes the adenosine A1 receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor that binds adenosine and mediates inhibitory effects on adenylyl cyclase. It plays a critical role in cardiac protection, neuroprotection, and regulation of sleep and pain.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Cardiac ischemia Receptor activation reduces heart rate and oxygen demand; protective in ischemic preconditioning PMID: 11500316
Epilepsy A1 receptor activation suppresses neuronal excitability; reduced function may increase seizure susceptibility PMID: 15657137
Chronic pain A1 receptor agonists produce antinociception; altered expression linked to pain states PMID: 19136968

Protein Summary

The adenosine A1 receptor is a 326-amino acid transmembrane protein with seven alpha-helical domains. It couples primarily to Gi/o proteins, inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and reducing cAMP levels. It is widely expressed in brain, heart, and adipose tissue, mediating sedative, anticonvulsant, and cardioprotective effects.
