Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

(-)-Epinephrine is a natural predominant neurotransmitter that is released from the adrenal medulla and activates adrenoceptors. (-)-Epinephrine has been found to be an effective β2-agonist and bronchiodialator. (-)-Epinephrine is an activator of β2-AR. Through these receptors, (-)-epinephrine may induce either contraction or relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, depending on adrenoceptor subtype expression. Receptor-mediated actions of (-)-epinephrine are also relevant to blocking anaphylaxis, reversing cardiac arrest, and reducing bleeding in clinical trials.
