Data Sheet
Background: Adenosine A3 receptors are involved in a variety of intracellular signaling pathways and physiological functions. They are expressed in a wide range of human tissues, but most predominantly in the lung and liver. Recent animal model studies have shown that A3 receptors play important roles in brain ischemia, immunosuppresion, and bronchospasm. A3 receptor agonists and/or agonists may have important clinical value in the treatment of asthma and inflammation.
Application: Functional assays
