The A2a Adenosine Receptor is a major target of caffeine. This receptor inhibits cell aggregation, induces vasodilation, and downregulates inflammation. The A2a receptor has been reported to be expressed in brain, embryo, heart, lung, and vessel. ESTs have been isolated from B-cell/lung/testis, blood, brain, colon, embryo, heart/melanocyte/uterus, kidney, liver/spleen, lung, skeletal muscle, testis, and tonsil libraries.
