  2. Beta-1 adrenergic receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-1_adrenergic_receptor

    The beta-1 adrenergic receptor (β 1 adrenoceptor), also known as ADRB1, can refer to either the protein-encoding gene (gene ADRB1) or one of the four adrenergic receptors. [5] It is a G-protein coupled receptor associated with the Gs heterotrimeric G-protein that is expressed predominantly in cardiac tissue. In addition to cardiac tissue, beta ...

  3. Adrenergic receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_receptor

    The adrenergic receptors or adrenoceptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of many catecholamines like norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) produced by the body, but also many medications like beta blockers, beta-2 (β 2) antagonists and alpha-2 (α 2) agonists, which are used to treat high ...

  4. Beta1-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta1-adrenergic_agonist

    β 1-Adrenergic receptor agonists, also known as beta-1 agonists, are a class of drugs that bind selectively to the β 1-adrenergic receptor.As a result, they act more selectively upon the heart. β-Adrenoceptors typically bind to norepinephrine release by sympathetic adrenergic nerves and to circulating epinephrine.

  5. Beta-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-adrenergic_agonist

    In general, pure beta-adrenergic agonists have the opposite function of beta blockers: beta-adrenoreceptor agonist ligands mimic the actions of both epinephrine- and norepinephrine- signaling, in the heart and lungs, and in smooth muscle tissue; epinephrine expresses the higher affinity.

  6. Beta blocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker

    Some beta blockers block activation of all types of β-adrenergic receptors and others are selective for one of the three known types of beta receptors, designated β 1, β 2 and β 3 receptors. [3]: 153 β 1-adrenergic receptors are located mainly in the heart and in the kidneys.

  7. Adrenergic receptor autoantibodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_receptor_auto...

    The combination of these two properties can result in bimodal effects on receptor activity that are meaningful for basal activity and chronotropic catecholamine responses of human cardiomyocytes.” [1] Beta-1 adrenergic receptors are the primary receptor of the heart and, therefore, autoantibodies to these receptors have been tied to many ...

  8. Adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_agonist

    An adrenergic agonist is a drug that stimulates a response from the adrenergic receptors. The five main categories of adrenergic receptors are: α 1, α 2, β 1, β 2, and β 3, although there are more subtypes, and agonists vary in specificity between these receptors, and may be classified respectively. However, there are also other mechanisms ...

  9. Adrenergic blocking agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_blocking_agent

    Beta1 blocker will stop the action of beta-1 receptor via occupying the beta-1 receptor without any activation. [5] The beta-1 receptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor with Gs alpha subunit as its main communication method. [5] By signaling Gs, adenylyl cyclase is recruited to activate a cAMP pathway, which potentiates the receptor. [5]
