Talk:Alpha-1C adrenergic receptor

Keeping it
I think it's good to keep this article, since it would be confusing to be directed to A1A receptor without any explanation. The target article lacks this explanation, and I'm not sure it's worth mentioning in it anyway if it's described here. Mikael Häggström (talk) 10:47, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Propose Merge
Wikipedia is not a dictionary, if the two terms describe exactly the same thing there should only be one article (For example Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone redirects to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone). I propose redirecting the article again and either adding a naming section to Alpha-1A adrenergic receptor which duplicates the current seperate article or mentioning the former name in the lead. Maybe as "The alpha-1A adrenergic receptor (α1A adrenoreceptor), also known as ADRA1A, formerly known as the Alpha-1C adrenergic receptor, is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it."
