Beta-1 adrenergic receptor
From DrugPedia: A Wikipedia for Drug discovery
Contents |
Source Organism
Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog).
Taxomomy
Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Amphibia; Batrachia; Anura; Mesobatrachia; Pipoidea; Pipidae;Xenopodinae; Xenopus; Xenopus.
Subcellular Localization
Cell membrane; multi-pass membrane protein.
Developmental Stage
Similarity
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Post translational Modification
Homologous desensitization of the receptor is mediated by its phosphorylation by beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (By similarity).
Function
Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine- induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins (By similarity).
