The adenosine A₃ receptor, also known as ADORA3, is an adenosine receptor, but also denotes the human gene encoding it.

Function

Adenosine A₃ receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that couple to Gi/Gq and are involved in a variety of intracellular signaling pathways and physiological functions. It mediates a sustained cardioprotective function during cardiac ischemia, it is involved in the inhibition of neutrophil degranulation in neutrophil-mediated tissue injury, it has been implicated in both neuroprotective and neurodegenerative effects, and it may also mediate both cell proliferation and cell death^{[citation needed]}. Recent publications demonstrate that adenosine A3 receptor antagonists (SSR161421) could have therapeutic potential in bronchial asthma (17,18).

Gene

Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.^[5]

Therapeutic implications

An adenosine A₃ receptor agonist (CF-101) is in clinical trials for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.^[6] In a mouse model of infarction the A₃ selective agonist CP-532,903 protected against myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury.^[7]

Selective Ligands

A number of selective A₃ ligands are available.^{[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]}
