Journal ArticleDOI

Palmitoylation of the human beta 2-adrenergic receptor. Mutation of Cys341 in the carboxyl tail leads to an uncoupled nonpalmitoylated form of the receptor.

TL;DR: Results indicate that post-translational modification by palmitate of beta 2AR may play a crucial role in the normal coupling of the receptor to the adenylyl cyclase signal transduction system.
Journal ArticleDOI

β-Arrestin-biased ligands at seven-transmembrane receptors

TL;DR: The current state of β-arrestin-biased ligand research and the prospects for β-Arrestin bias as a therapeutic target are discussed, which might have profound influences on the way scientists approach 7TMR-targeted drug discovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of the cDNA for the human beta 1-adrenergic receptor.

TL;DR: RNA blot analysis indicates a message of 2.5 kilobases in rat tissues, with a pattern of tissue distribution consistent with beta 1AR binding, which suggests that the avian gene encoding beta AR and the human gene encodingbeta 1AR evolved from a common ancestral gene.
