Difference between Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor and Oxymetazoline

Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor vs. Oxymetazoline

The alpha-2 (α2) adrenergic receptor (or adrenoceptor) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) associated with the Gi heterotrimeric G-protein. Oxymetazoline is a selective α1 adrenergic receptor agonist and α2 adrenergic receptor partial agonist.

Similarities between Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor and Oxymetazoline

Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor and Oxymetazoline have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adrenergic receptor, Agonist, Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, Clonidine, Imidazoline receptor, Oxymetazoline, Phentolamine, Vasoconstriction, Xylometazoline.

Adrenergic receptor

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).

Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response.

Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor

The alpha-1 (α1) adrenergic receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) associated with the Gq heterotrimeric G-protein.

Clonidine

Clonidine (trade names Catapres, Kapvay, Nexiclon, Clophelin, and others) is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorders, tic disorders, withdrawal (from either alcohol, opioids, or smoking), migraine, menopausal flushing, diarrhea, and certain pain conditions.

Vasoconstriction

Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, in particular the large arteries and small arterioles.
