Summary: (from NCBI-Entrez) ..[read more]The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of beta adrenergic receptors, which mediate catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. This receptor is located mainly in the adipose tissue and is involve
The adrenergic receptors mediate the physiological effects of the hormone epinephrine and the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, the latter is converted upon dopamine beta-hydroxylase.
