Alpha-1B adrenergic receptor

UniProt P35368 Organism Homo sapiens Gene ADRA1B

Also known as: ADRA1B

Function

Alpha-1 adrenergic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors for catecholamines that signal through the G(q) family of G proteins, including G(q) and G(11). Upon activation, they stimulate the phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger pathway, leading to calcium release from intracellular stores and activation of protein kinase C (By similarity). ADRA1B binds the catecholamine ligands norepinephrine and epinephrine. Can also couple to G(14) and G(16) proteins (By similarity). Nuclear ADRA1B forms heterooligomers with ADRA1A to regulate phenylephrine(PE)-stimulated ERK signaling in cardiac myocytes. At the plasma membrane, ADRA1B interacts with CAVIN4/MURC to regulates ERK activation in cardiomyocytes, contributing to the regulation of cardiac hypertrophy.
