Adenosine Pathway
- Molecular classification
- Metabolic Pathway, Signaling Pathway
01
Overview
The adenosine pathway is a network of metabolic and signaling processes involving adenosine, a purine nucleoside. It encompasses adenosine synthesis, metabolism, and receptor-mediated actions, impacting cellular energy, signal transduction, and immune regulation. Key components include enzymes like CD39, CD73, CD38, and ADA, as well as four adenosine receptor subtypes (A1, A2A, A2B, and A3), each with distinct signaling mechanisms and physiological roles. The pathway is implicated in various diseases, including cancer, immunodeficiency, inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegeneration, making it a target for therapeutic intervention.
