Homo sapiens adrenoceptor beta 2 (ADRB2)
Homo sapiens adrenoceptor beta 2 (ADRB2) is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activated by adrenaline that plays an important part in cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology, and is one of the most extensively characterized members of this large family of membrane proteins. It has seven membrane-spanning helices with an extracellular N-terminus and an intracellular C-terminus like all other members from GPCR family. In its host cell, once stimulated by catecholamine (epinephrine/norepinephrine), ADRB2 will undergo conformational change and interact with heterotrimeric G proteins to make alpha subunit (Gs) disassociated, then Gs will activate the adenylyl cyclase and further result in the soaring intracellular cAMP level and activation of enzymes downstream. It is reported to be functionally expressed in many mammalian and insect cells.
