Definition
English
:
A subclass of alpha-adrenergic receptors found on both presynaptic and postsynaptic
membranes
where they signal through Gi-Go G-PROTEINS. While postsynaptic alpha-2 receptors play a traditional role in mediating the effects of
ADRENERGIC AGONISTS
, the subset of alpha-2 receptors found on presynaptic
membranes
signal the
feedback
inhibition of NEUROTRANSMITTER release.
