Imidazoline receptor

Imidazoline receptors are the primary receptors on which clonidine and other imidazolines act.[1][2][3] There are three main classes of imidazoline receptor: I1 is involved in inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system to lower blood pressure,[4] I2 has as yet uncertain functions but is implicated in several psychiatric conditions,[5][6] and I3 regulates insulin secretion.[7]
