The alpha-1A adrenergic receptor, also known as ADRA1A, formerly known also as the alpha-1C adrenergic receptor, is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it. There is no longer a subtype α_1C receptor. At one time, there was a subtype known as α_1C, but it was found to be identical to the previously discovered α_1A receptor subtype. To avoid confusion, the naming convention was continued with the letter D.
