Target
-
FunctionAlpha-2 adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. The rank order of potency for agonists of this receptor is oxymetazoline > clonidine > epinephrine > norepinephrine > phenylephrine > dopamine > p-synephrine > p-tyramine > serotonin = p-octopamine. For antagonists, the rank order is yohimbine > phentolamine = mianserine > chlorpromazine = spiperone = prazosin > propanolol > alprenolol = pindolol.
-
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Adrenergic receptor subfamily. ADRA2A sub-subfamily.

Western blot - Anti-alpha 2a Adrenergic Receptor antibody (ab85570)All lanes : Anti-alpha 2a Adrenergic Receptor antibody (ab85570) at 1 µg/ml
Lane 1 : Human pancreas tissue lysate - total protein (ab29816)
Lane 2 : Human small intestine tissue lysate - total protein (ab29276)
Lysates/proteins at 10 µg per lane.
Secondary
All lanes : Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (HRP), pre-adsorbed at 1/5000 dilution
Developed using the ECL technique.
Performed under reducing conditions.
Predicted band size: 49 kDa
Observed band size: 52 kDa (why is the actual band size different from the predicted?)
Exposure time: 20 minutes
Alpha 2a Adrenergic Receptor contains a number of potential glycosylation sites (SwissProt) which may explain its migration at a higher molecular weight than predicted. -
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-alpha 2a Adrenergic Receptor antibody (ab85570)ICC/IF image of ab85570 stained MCF7 cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab85570, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM. This antibody also gave a positive result in 4% PFA fixed (10 min) Hek293 and HepG2 cells at 5µg/ml, and in 100% methanol fixed (5 min) HeLa, Hek293, HepG2 and MCF7 cells at 5µg/ml. -
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-alpha 2a Adrenergic Receptor antibody (ab85570)IHC image of alpha 2a Adrenergic Receptor staining in human Pancreas FFPE section, performed on a BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab85570, 1µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX
