Beta-Adrenergic Receptors
Description
Beta-Adrenergic Receptors are a group of Adrenergic Receptors.
Biological Function of Beta-Adrenergic Receptors
Cardiovascular System
Stimulation of Beta-2 Adrenergic Receptors enhances Blood Circulation.
Stimulation of Beta-1 Adrenergic Receptors increases Blood Pressure.
Stimulation of Beta-1 Adrenergic Receptors increases Heart beat rate.
Metabolism
Stimulation of Beta-3 Adrenergic Receptors (located on Adipocytes) stimulates the production of Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT), thereby preventing Obesity.
Stimulation of Beta-Adrenergic Receptors stimulates the activity of Adenyl Cyclase which leads to increased levels of Cyclic AMP.
