A2B receptor

A2B receptors are specialized proteins found on the surface of certain cells in the body. They respond to a molecule called adenosine, which is part of your body's signaling system. When adenosine binds to an A2B receptor, it triggers specific responses within the cell—from dilating blood vessels to modulating immune activity. These receptors help regulate processes like blood flow, inflammation, and energy use. Understanding A2B receptors is important for developing treatments for conditions like cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, and some types of cancer.
