Difference between Adrenergic receptor and Alpha-1 blocker

Adrenergic receptor vs. Alpha-1 blocker

The adrenergic receptors (or adrenoceptors) are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of the catecholamines, especially norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). Alpha-1 blockers (also called alpha-adrenergic blocking agents) constitute a variety of drugs that block alpha-1-adrenergic receptors in arteries, smooth muscles, and central nervous system tissues.

Similarities between Adrenergic receptor and Alpha-1 blocker

Adrenergic receptor and Alpha-1 blocker have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alfuzosin, Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, Artery, Beta blocker, Doxazosin, Hypertension, Phenoxybenzamine, Prazosin, Smooth muscle tissue, Tamsulosin, Terazosin.

Alfuzosin

Alfuzosin (INN, provided as the hydrochloride salt) is a pharmaceutical drug of the α1 blocker class.
