| Key Mechanism Factor 1 | |||||||||
| 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.

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | While therapies that target the prostacyclin pathway have been used in combination with diuretics, antihypertensives, or other vasodilators in the management of pulmonary arterial hypertension, caution is recommended if they must be administered concurrently. If these drugs are used together, it is generally recommended that blood pressure be measured more frequently until a stable blood pressure pattern is observed. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their doctor if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostatic hypotension, or tachycardia. | ||||||||
