Regarding proteins:

  • Adrenergic receptor, a receptor type for epinephrine and norepinephrine; subtypes include α1, α2, β1, β2, and β3 receptors
  • Adrenergic transporter (norepinephrine transporter), a protein transporting norepinephrine from the synaptic cleft into nerve cells


Regarding pharmaceutical drugs:

  • Adrenergic receptor agonist, a type of drug activating one or more subtypes of adrenergic receptors
    • This includes drugs regulating blood pressure and antiasthmatic drugs.
  • Adrenergic receptor antagonist, a type of drug blocking one or more subtypes of adrenergic receptors
    • This mainly includes drugs lowering blood pressure.
  • Adrenergic reuptake inhibitor, a type of drug blocking the norepinephrine transporter
    • This includes antidepressants and drugs against ADHD.
