Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding the beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) is highly polymorphic in the human population. Common polymorphisms in the receptor coding block (amino acids 16 and 27) affect agonist-promoted downregulation. Another common polymorphism in the 5' leader cistron of the beta2AR gene also regulates receptor expression, but does so through a mechanism that is independent of agonist exposure. None of these...
