Figure 1 Adenosine receptors and their relevant signaling pathways.
A1: A1 adenosine receptor; A2a: A2a adenosine receptor; A2b: A2b adenosine receptor; A3: A3 adenosine receptor; PLC: Phospholipase C; IP3: Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate; DG: Diacylglycerol; PKA: Protein kinase A; PKC; Protein kinase C.
Figure 2 Intracellularly transported adenosine and the ensuing signaling pathways.
AMPK: AMP-activated protein kinase; ADP: Adenosine diphosphate; ATP: Adenosine triphosphate.
