Gene Name CHRNA4
Uniprot ID ACHA4_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:1137
Protein Family Ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family
Protein Function
After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane permeable to sodium ions.

      Key Mechanism Factor 2
Factor Name Adrenergic receptor alpha-1 Structure Sequence
Protein Family G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Protein Function
This alpha-adrenergic receptor mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Its effect is mediated by G(q) and G(11) proteins. Nuclear ADRA1A-ADRA1B heterooligomers regulate phenylephrine(PE)-stimulated ERK signaling in cardiac myocytes.

      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Trimethaphan and Amisulpride 

Recommended Action
      Management Close clinical monitoring for development of hypotension is recommended if phenothiazines or neuroleptic agents are used in patients receiving antihypertensive medications or vasodilators. A lower starting dosage and slower titration of the phenothiazine or neuroleptic may be appropriate, especially in the elderly. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia. Patients should also avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery.
