[edit] Source Organism

Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog).

[edit] Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Amphibia; Batrachia; Anura; Mesobatrachia; Pipoidea; Pipidae;Xenopodinae; Xenopus; Xenopus.

[edit] Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane; multi-pass membrane protein.

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

[edit] Post translational Modification

Homologous desensitization of the receptor is mediated by its phosphorylation by beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (By similarity).

[edit] Function

Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine- induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins (By similarity).
