| ARB | adrenergic receptor binder |
|---|---|
| ARM | adrenergic receptor material; aerosol rebreathing method; ambulatory renal monitor; anorectal manome... |
| BAR | bariatrics; barometer, barometric; beta-adrenergic receptor |
| BARK | beta-adrenergic receptor kinase |
| BAS | balloon atrial septostomy; benzyl anti-serotinin; beta-adrenergic stimulation; boric acid solution |
| adrenergic fibres | Nerve fibres liberating catecholamines at a synapse after an impulse. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| adrenergic neuronal blocking agent | A drug that prevents the release of norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve terminals; it does not inhibit the responses of the adrenergic receptors to circulating epinephrine, norepinephrine, and other adrenergic amines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenergic uptake inhibitors | Drugs that block the transport of adrenergic transmitters into axon terminals or into storage vesicles within terminals. The tricyclic antidepressants (antidepressive agents, tricyclic) and amphetamines are among the therapeutically important drugs that may act via inhibition of adrenergic transport. Many of these drugs also block transport of serotonin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alpha-adrenergic blocking agent | An agent that competitively blocks alpha-adrenergic receptors; used in the treatment of hypertension. Synonym: alpha-blocker. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beta-adrenergic blocking agent | A class of drugs that compete with beta-adrenergic agonists for available receptor sites; some compete for both b1 and b2 receptors (e.g., propranolol) while others are primarily either b1 (e.g., metoprolol) or b2 blockers; used in the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular diseases where beta-adrenergic blockade is desirable. Synonym: beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent, beta-adrenoreceptor antagonist, beta-blocker. (05 Mar 2000) |

| beta-adrenergic receptor kinase | <enzyme> Cyclic-AMP protein kinase which specifically phosphorylates the agonist-occupied form of beta-adrenergic receptor Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: beta-ar kinase, beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1, g-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2, grk2 (kinase), beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 2, beta-ar kinase 2 (26 Jun 1999) |
| ANP clearance receptors | Cell surface proteins that bind atrial natriuretic peptide and ANP fragments without initiating biological action. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ANP receptors | Cell surface receptors for atrial natriuretic peptide that have a single transmembrane spanning element; these have integral kinase and guanylate cyclase domains. (05 Mar 2000) |
| B-cell antigen receptors | In the primary immune response immunoglobulin D and monomeric immunoglobulin M are the B-cell antigen receptors. On memory B-cells, other immunoglobulin molecules can serve as antigen receptors. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mannose-6-phosphate receptors | Receptors in Golgi apparatus to which newly synthesised proteins that are destined to enter lysosomes bind. (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, albumin | Cell surface proteins that bind albumin with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behaviour of cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, aldosterone | Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind aldosterone and mediate its cellular effects. The aldosterone-bound receptor acts in the nucleus to regulate the transcription of specific segments of DNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, amino acid | Cell surface proteins that bind amino acids and trigger changes which influence the behaviour of cells. Glutamate receptors are the most common receptors for fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the vertebrate central nervous system, and gaba and glycine receptors are the most common receptors for fast inhibition. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, ampa | Cell surface proteins that bind glutamate and directly gate ion channels in cell membranes. Ampa receptors were originally discriminated from other glutamate receptors by their affinity for the agonist ampa (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid). They are probably the most common mediators of fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Several subtypes have been cloned, and for some types the traditional distinction from kainate receptors may not apply. (12 Dec 1998) |
