Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of the gene and cDNA for mammalian β -adrenergic receptor and homology with rhodopsin

TL;DR: Cloning of the gene and cDNA for the mammalian β2AR indicates significant amino-acid homology with bovine rhodopin and suggests that, like rhodopsin7, βAR possesses multiple membrane-spanning regions.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

An intronless gene encoding a potential member of the family of receptors coupled to guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins

TL;DR: A DNA fragment in the human genome is cloned and sequenced which cross-hybridizes with a full-length β2-adrenergic receptor probe at reduced stringency and appears to be intronless, containing an uninterrupted long open reading frame which encodes a putative protein with all the expected structural features of a G-protein-coupled receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis of beta-adrenergic receptor subtype specificity studied with chimeric beta 1/beta 2-adrenergic receptors

TL;DR: Several of the membrane-spanning regions appear to be involved in the determination of receptor subtype specificity, presumably by formation of a ligand-binding pocket, with determinants for agonist and antagonist binding being distinguishable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosomal organization of adrenergic receptor genes.

TL;DR: The alpha 1- AR gene is mapped to chromosome 5q32----q34, the same position as beta 2-AR, and the beta 1-AR gene to chromosome 10q24----q26, the region where alpha 2- AR is located, as well as the sequence similarity that exists among all the ARs.
