Enables alpha1-adrenergic receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including neuron-glial cell signaling; pilomotor reflex; and positive regulation of smooth muscle contraction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including heart development; positive regulation of non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain and heart. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; heroin dependence; and hypertension. Orthologous to human ADRA1A (adrenoceptor alpha 1A).
