Abstract excerpt
Sustained stimulation of the beta2-adrenoceptor leads to a desensitization of the receptor-mediated adenylyl cyclase stimulation. While desensitization promoted by nanomolar concentrations of isoproterenol involves the phosphorylation of the beta2-adrenoceptor by protein kinase A alone, both protein kinase A- and beta-adrenoceptor kinase-mediated phosphorylation leading to the binding of beta-arrestin contribute...
