Purinergic-P1 Receptor Definition

Cell surface receptors that bind to adenosine. These receptors have an enhanced affinity for adenosine and preferentially bind to this nucleoside compared to other purine moieties present within the body. Two types of receptors, termed A1 and A2, have been identified and they are both widely expressed in the body.
