Description:
This gene encodes the beta1-adrenergic receptor (ADRB1), member of the family of G protein-coupled adrenoreceptors and part of the sympathetic nervous system that participates in a fight-or-flight response upon danger. The encoded protein is expressed predominantly in cardiac tissue, where it mediates an increase in inotropy and chronotropy upon stimulation, and binds to catecholamines, such as norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). Ligand-stimulated ADRB1 receptors signal via G-proteins coupled to adenylate cyclase in order to generate the second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) and activate downstream cAMP-dependent protein kinases. This gene is intronless encoding a 477-amino-acid protein. Specific polymorphisms in this gene have been shown to affect the resting heart rate and can be involved in heart failure. Polymorphisms in this gene associated with pulmonary hypertension in sickle cell patients.
