title: Alpha-2 adrenoceptor subtypes: are more better?
abstract: The discovery of an additional duplicated alpha-2 adrenoceptor subtype in the zebrafish raises a pesky nomenclature issue, as well as questions about the functions of the alpha-2 adrenoceptors in the zebrafish and how many alpha-2 receptors does an organism really need.
