Gene information for ADRB2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID154
Official gene symbolADRB2
Full nameadrenergic, beta-2-, receptor, surface
Aliases,ADRB2R,ADRBR,B2AR,BAR,BETA2AR,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes beta-2-adrenergic receptor which is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. This receptor is directly associated with one of its ultimate effectors, the class C L-type calcium channel Ca(V)1.2. This receptor-channel complex also contains a G protein, an adenylyl cyclase, cAMP-dependent kinase, and the counterbalancing phosphatase, PP2A. The assembly of the signaling complex provides a mechanism that ensures specific and rapid signaling by this G protein-coupled receptor. This gene is intronless. Different polymorphic forms, point mutations, and/or downregulation of this gene are associated with nocturnal asthma, obesity and type 2 diabetes. [provided by RefSeq]
