Data Sheet

Background: A2B is a receptor for adenosine. A2B receptor is upregulated during intestinal inflammation and mediates key events such as chloride, IL-6 and fibronectin secretion in intestinal epithelial cells. A2B receptor antagonists may have important clinical value in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as inflammatory bowel disease. In rats, the A2B receptor has also been shown to stimulate the growth of arterial endothelial cells and may be critical in regulating vascular remodeling associated with endothelial cell proliferation in angiogenesis, collateral vessel development, and recovery after vascular injury.

Application: Functional assays
