Abstract

Yohimbine and some stereoisomeric alkaloids inhibited the binding of 3H-clonidine and 3H-WB-4101 to rat cerebral cortex membranes. Rauwolscine and yohimbine had much higher affinity to the 3H-clonidine than to the 3H-WB-4101 site, whereas the reverse was true for corynanthine. The results indicate that the 3H-clonidine site is an alpha 2-adrenoceptor and not an agonist-selective site whereas the 3H-WB-4101 site is an alpha 1-andrenoceptor and not an antagonist-selective site.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
