Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine- induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. The beta-2-adrenergic receptor binds epinephrine with an approximately 30-fold greater affinity than it does norepinephrine (By similarity). | Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine- induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins.

[edit] Similarity
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
[edit] Post translational Modification
Palmitoylated; may reduce accessibility of Ser-345 and Ser- 346 by anchoring Cys-341 to the plasma membrane. Agonist stimulation promotes depalmitoylation and further allows Ser-345 and Ser-346 phosphorylation (By similarity). Phosphorylated by PKA and BARK upon agonist stimulation, which mediates homologous desensitization of the receptor. PKA- mediated phosphorylation seems to facilitate phosphorylation by BARK (By similarity).
