The alpha-1A adrenergic receptor (α1A adrenoreceptor), also known as ADRA1A, formerly known as the alpha-1C adrenergic receptor[1], is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it.[2]

There are 3 alpha-1 adrenergic receptor subtypes: alpha-1A, -1B and -1D, all of which signal through the Gq/11 family of G-proteins. Different subtypes show different patterns of activation.
This gene encodes the alpha-1A-adrenergic receptor. Alternative splicing of this gene generates four transcript variants, which encode four different isoforms with distinct C-termini but having similar ligand binding properties.[2]
