ADRB2 Antibody

ADRB2, also known as beta-2 adrenergic receptor, is a beta-adrenergic receptor within a cell membrane which reacts with adrenaline (epinephrine) as a hormone or neurotransmitter affecting muscles or organs. It is mapped to 5q32. This receptor is directly associated with one of its ultimate effectors, the class C L-type calcium channel Ca(V)1.2. The genetic variation in the ADRB2 gene may be of major importance for obesity, energy expenditure, and lipolytic ADRB2 function in adipose tissue, at least in women. What’s more, it has been found that activation of ADRB2 receptors can stimulate gamma-secretase activity and beta-amyloid production, and the ADRB2 receptors activator may contribute to beta-amyloid accumulation in AD.
