The Arg389Gly ??1-adrenoceptor gene polymorphism determines contractile response to catecholamines
1 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Recently, the Arg389Gly beta1-adrenoceptor (beta1AR) gene polymorphism has been detected. The Arg variant exhibited increased responsiveness to agonist-induced stimulation in vitro. Functional studies in isolated human atrial muscle strips and in-vivo studies revealed contradictory results regarding the functional relevance of this polymorphism. We sought to characterize the functional consequences of...
