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.
