Localization and action of adrenergic receptors in the kidney.

Subtype Localization in Kidney Action
α1-AR Arterioles
  • Stimulation of renal vasoconstriction

α2-AR Proximal tubules
  • Stimulation of Na+ reabsorption

β-AR All nephron segments
  • Regulation of renal blood flow

  • Regulation of glomerular filtration rate

  • Reabsorption of Na+ and water

  • Secretion of renin
