Preparation and Storage

Background: beta-2 Adrenergic R/ADRB2

Beta-2 adrenoceptor (ADRB2) is a 413 amino acids adrenergic receptor expressed in smooth muscle and metabolic tissues. Beta-adrenergic receptors belong to the seven-transmembrane domain/GPCR family of receptors and mediate the catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. Activation of ADRB2 induces a decrease in gastrointestinal motility, bronchodilation, vasodilation in skeletal and cardiac muscle, and glycogenolysis in liver. Agonists of ADRB2 are most widely used for the treatment of asthma. In complex with beta-arrestin-1 and c-src, the beta-2 adrenergic receptor activates MAP kinases ERK1(MAPK3) and ERK2 (MAPK1). Expression of the beta-2 adrenoceptor has been reported in adipose, blood, brain, heart, lung, nose, pancreas, skeletal muscle, skin, and vessel.
