Abstract:
The human genome encodes nine different adrenoceptor genes. These are grouped into three families, namely, the ?1-, ?2-, and ?-adrenoceptors, with three family members each. Adrenoceptors are expressed by most cell types of the human body and are primary targets of the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine that are released from the sympathetic nervous system during its activation. Upon catecholamine binding, adrenoceptors change conformation, couple to and activate G proteins, and there...     »
