ADRB1 adrenoceptor beta 1

Gene ID: 153, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RHR; B1AR; FNSS2; ADRB1R; BETA1AR

Summary

The adrenergic receptors (subtypes alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, and beta 2) are a prototypic family of guanine nucleotide binding regulatory protein-coupled receptors that mediate the physiological effects of the hormone epinephrine and the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Beta-1 adrenoceptors are predominately located in the heart. Specific polymorphisms in this gene have been shown to affect the resting heart rate and can be involved in heart failure.
