Abstract excerpt
Beta-adrenoceptors are polymorphic. Two common polymorphisms in the beta1-adrenoceptor (Ser49Gly and Arg389Gly) and three in the beta2-adrenoceptor (Arg16Gly, Gln27Glu, and Thr164Ile) appear to influence receptor function. In vitro studies of agonist-stimulation have shown that the Gly49 beta1-adrenoceptor and the Gly16 beta2-adrenoceptors are more susceptible to down-regulation, while the Glu27...
