GENERAL INFORMATIONⁱ General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Human gene nameⁱ Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.	ADRA1A
Mouse gene name	Adra1a
Human gene descriptionⁱ Full gene name according to HGNC.	Adrenoceptor alpha 1A
Predicted locationⁱ All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions. Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached. Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s). The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.

Mouse gene	ENSMUSG00000045875 (version 103)
Pig gene	ENSSSCG00000009661 (version 103)

HUMAN PROTEIN ATLAS INFORMATION
Tissue specificityⁱ The RNA specificity category is based on mRNA expression levels in the consensus dataset which is calculated from the RNA expression levels in samples from HPA and GTEX. The categories include: tissue enriched, group enriched, tissue enhanced, low tissue specificity and not detected. Read more	Tissue enhanced (brain, liver)
	Human brain	Pig brain	Mouse brain
Regional specificityⁱ The regional specificity category is based on mRNA expression levels in the analysed brain samples, grouped into 13 main brain regions and calculated for the three different species. All brain expression profiles are based on data from HPA. The specificity categories include: regionally enriched, group enriched, regionally enhanced, low regional specificity and not detected. The classification rules are the same used for the tissue specificity category. Read more	Low region specificity	Low region specificity	Low region specificity
Regional distributionⁱ The regional distribution category is based on mRNA expression detected above cut off or not in the analysed brain samples, grouped into 13 main brain regions and calculated for the three different species. Brain expression for all species is based on data from HPA. The distribution categories include: detected in all, detected in many, detected in some, detected in single and not detected. The classification rules are the same used for the tissue distribution category. Read more	Detected in all	Detected in many	Detected in all
Cellular locationⁱ Manually selected location of the protein positivity, observed by immunofluorescence staining in mouse brain. Read more	Soma and endfeet in astrocytes.
Protein profileⁱ A summary of the overall protein localization across the analyzed brain tissue. The summary is based on manual annotation. Mouse brain profiles includes a more extensive summary of the protein location while summaries with only human protein profile are more limited and are based on imported data/images from the Tissue Atlas stainings that has undergone an additional brain-centric curation step. Read more	Stong-intensity immunostaining of astrocytes mainly in the white matter but, in some cases (substantia nigra, hippocampus, globus pallidus, lateral septum and ventral pallidum), also in the gray matter, is noticed throughout the brain. Astroglial endfeet around the ventricle walls, pia mater, and in the region around area postrema are especially strongly imunoreactive. These data are in line with the published literature suggesting that ADRA1A may have a role in regulating gliogenesis.
