Imidazoline receptor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Imidazoline receptors are proteins and receptors in the brain .

properties

Imidazoline receptors bind clonidine and other imidazoline derivatives (such as tolazoline , guanfacine , moxonidine , rilmenidine, and tolonidine ) as agonists . There are three classes of imidazoline receptors: I 1 , I 2 , I 3 . Agmatine has been found to be an endogenous agonist , which not only binds to I 1 and I 2 receptors but also to α 2 adrenoceptors. Competitive inhibitors of clonidine are agmatine, harmane and imidazole acetic acid . Guanfacine and tetrahydrozoline bind to imidazoline receptors.

I 1 receptor

The I 1 receptor mediated sympatholytic effects, together with α 2 -adrenoceptors the blood pressure regulate. In humans Nischarin the suspected I 1 receptor.

I 2 receptor

The I 2 receptor is an important allosteric binding site for the monoamine oxidases A and B. The receptors are involved in the regulation of pain . There are at least four proteins involved. They bind [3H] - idazoxan , [3H] - 2-BFI , CR4056 and [18F] - FEBU with high affinity .

I 3 receptor

The I 3 receptor regulates insulin - secretion from the beta cells of the pancreas and above the homeostasis of glucose .
