  2. Beta-2 adrenergic receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-2_adrenergic_receptor

    The beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β 2 adrenoreceptor), also known as ADRB2, is a cell membrane-spanning beta-adrenergic receptor that binds epinephrine (adrenaline), a hormone and neurotransmitter whose signaling, via adenylate cyclase stimulation through trimeric G s proteins, increases cAMP, and, via downstream L-type calcium channel interaction, mediates physiologic responses such as smooth ...

  3. Beta2-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta2-adrenergic_agonist

    Beta 2-adrenergic agonists, also known as adrenergic β 2 receptor agonists, are a class of drugs that act on the β 2 adrenergic receptor. Like other β adrenergic agonists , they cause smooth muscle relaxation. β 2 adrenergic agonists' effects on smooth muscle cause dilation of bronchial passages , vasodilation in muscle and liver ...

  4. Adrenergic blocking agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_blocking_agent

    Adrenergic blocking agents are a class of drugs that exhibit its pharmacological action through inhibiting the action of the sympathetic nervous system [1] in the body. The sympathetic nervous system(SNS) is an autonomic nervous system that we cannot control by will.

  5. Adrenergic receptor - Wikipedia

    When NE is released into the synapse, it feeds back on the α 2 receptor, causing less NE release from the presynaptic neuron. This decreases the effect of NE. There are also α 2 receptors on the nerve terminal membrane of the post-synaptic adrenergic neuron. Actions of the α 2 receptor include: decreased insulin release from the pancreas [19]

  6. Beta-2 microglobulin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-2_microglobulin

    β 2 microglobulin (B2M) is a component of MHC class I molecules. MHC class I molecules have α 1 , α 2 , and α 3 proteins which are present on all nucleated cells (excluding red blood cells ). [ 5 ] [ 6 ] In humans, the β 2 microglobulin protein [ 7 ] is encoded by the B2M gene .

    The cells of the neurovascular unit also make up the blood–brain barrier (BBB), which plays an important role in maintaining the microenvironment of the brain. [11] In addition to regulating the exit and entrance of blood, the blood–brain barrier also filters toxins that may cause inflammation, injury, and disease. [12]

    When combined with inhaled steroids, β adrenoceptor agonists can improve symptoms. [1] [2] In children this benefit is uncertain and they may be potentially harmful. [2]They should not be used without an accompanying steroid due to an increased risk of severe symptoms, including exacerbation in both children and adults. [3]
