Abstract:
The ? adrenergic receptor (?AR) is recognized as a classical G?-coupled receptor. Agonist binding not only initiates G protein-mediated signaling but also signaling through the multifunctional adapter protein ?-arrestin. Some ?AR ligands, such as carvedilol, stimulate ?AR signaling preferentially through ?-arrestin, a concept known as ?-arrestin-biased agonism. Here, we identify a signaling mechanism, unlike that previously known for any G?-coupled receptor, whereby carvedilol induces the transi...     »
