| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled adenosine receptor activity. Involved in G protein-coupled adenosine receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; positive regulation of cell communication; and response to amphetamine. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; intestine; and liver and biliary system. Used to study myopia and primary pulmonary hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human ADORA2A (adenosine A2a receptor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for targeted mutations that inactivate the gene are viable and fertile with reduced exploratory activity and displaying depressive rather than stimulatory response to caffeine. Mutants test more anxious, were more aggressive towards intruders, and slower to respond to pain stimuli. Blood pressure and heart rate are increased, as well as platelet aggregation rate.
