The A<sub>2A</sub> receptor (A<sub>2A</sub>R), the GPCR with the highest expression in the striatum, has a similar role to that of receptors for dopamine, one of the main neurotransmitters. Neuronal and glial A<sub>2A</sub>Rs participate in the modulation of dopaminergic transmission and act in almost any action in which the basal ganglia is involved. This chapter revisits the expression of the A<sub>2A</sub>R in the basal ganglia in health and disease, and describes the diversity of signalling depending on whether the receptors are expressed as monomer or as heteromer. The A<sub>2A</sub>R can interact with other receptors as adenosine A<sub>1</sub>, dopamine D<sub>2</sub>, or cannabinoid CB<sub>1</sub> to form heteromers with relevant functions in the basal ganglia. Heteromerization, with these and other GPCRs, provides diversity to A<sub>2A</sub>R-mediated signalling and to the modulation of neurotransmission. Thus, selective A<sub>2A</sub>R antagonists have neuroprotective potential acting directly on neurons, but also through modulation of glial cell activation, for example, by decreasing neuroinflammatory events that accompany neurodegenerative diseases. In fact, A<sub>2A</sub>R antagonists are safe and their potential in the therapy of Parkinson's disease has already led to the approval of one of them, istradefylline, in Japan and United States.
