CSP: coupled through the G protein Gs to adenylate cyclase such that extracellular stimulation results in increased intracellular cyclic AMP; beta-1 mediates lipolysis and cardiostimulation, beta-2 broncho- and vaso- dilation.,MSH: One of two major pharmacologically defined classes of adrenergic receptors. The beta adrenergic receptors play an important role in regulating CARDIAC MUSCLE contraction, SMOOTH MUSCLE relaxation, and GLYCOGENOLYSIS.,NCI: Expressed by Beta Adrenergic Receptor Genes in effector tissues innervated by postganglionic sympathetic adrenergic fibers, Beta Adrenergic Receptors are one of two major classes of adrenergic receptors (alpha and beta) based on their reactions to norepinephrine and epinephrine, on cellular effects of receptor activation, and on relative affinities and reactions to synthetic blocking or stimulating agents. Beta-adrenergic receptors respond to blocking agents such as propranolol and to activating agents such as isoproterenol. Beta-1 type receptors mediate lipolysis
