The beta-2 adrenergic receptor2 adrenoreceptor), also known as ADRB2, is a cell membrane-spanning beta-adrenergic receptor that interacts with (binds) epinephrine, a hormone and neurotransmitter (ligand synonym, adrenaline) whose signaling, via adenylate cyclase stimulation through trimeric Gs proteins, increased cAMP, and downstream L-type calcium channel interaction, mediates physiologic responses such as smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation.[1]

The official symbol for the human gene encoding the β2 adrenoreceptor is ADRB2.[2]

Gene

The ADRB2 gene is intronless. Different polymorphic forms, point mutations, and/or downregulation of this gene are associated with nocturnal asthma, obesity and type 2 diabetes.[3]

Structure

The 3D crystallographic structure (see figure and links to the right) of the β2-adrenergic receptor has been determined[4][5][6] by making a fusion protein with lysozyme to increase the hydrophilic surface area of the protein for crystal contacts. An alternative method, involving production of a fusion protein with an agonist, supported lipid-bilayer co-crystallization and generation of a 3.5 Å resolution structure.[7]

Mechanism

This receptor is directly associated with one of its ultimate effectors, the class C L-type calcium channel CaV1.2. This receptor-channel complex is coupled to the Gs G protein, which activates adenylyl cyclase, catalysing the formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) which then activates protein kinase A, and counterbalancing phosphatase PP2A. Protein kinase A then goes on to phosphorylate (and thus inactivate) myosin light-chain kinase, which causes smooth muscle relaxation, accounting for the vasodilatory effects of beta 2 stimulation. The assembly of the signaling complex provides a mechanism that ensures specific and rapid signaling. A two-state biophysical and molecular model has been proposed to account for the pH and REDOX sensitivity of this and other GPCRs.[8]

Beta-2 adrenergic receptors have also been found to couple with Gi, possibly providing a mechanism by which response to ligand is highly localized within cells. In contrast, Beta-1 adrenergic receptors are coupled only to Gs, and stimulation of these results in a more diffuse cellular response.[9] This appears to be mediated by cAMP induced PKA phosphorylation of the receptor.[10]

Function

Actions of the β2 receptor include:

Muscular System

Function Tissue Biological Role
Smooth muscle relaxation in: GI tract (decreases motility) Inhibition of digestion
Bronchi[11] Facilitation of respiration. Hence, beta-2 agonists can be useful in treating asthma.
Detrusor urinae muscle of bladder wall[12][13] This effect is stronger than the alpha-1 receptor effect of contraction. Inhibition of need for micturition
Uterus Inhibition of labor
Seminal tract[14]
Increased perfusion and vasodilation Blood vessels and arteries to skeletal muscle including the smaller coronary arteries[15] and hepatic artery Facilitation of muscle contraction and motility
Increased mass and contraction speed Striated muscle[14]
Insulin and glucagon secretion Pancreas[16] Increased blood glucose and uptake by skeletal muscle
Glycogenolysis[14]
Tremor Motor nerve terminals.[14] Tremor is mediated by PKA mediated facilitation of presynaptic Ca2+ influx leading to acetylcholine release.
Legend
  The function facilitates the fight-or-flight response.

Circulatory system

Eye

In the normal eye, beta-2 stimulation by salbutamol increases intraocular pressure via net:

In glaucoma, drainage is reduced ( open-angle glaucoma) or blocked completely (closed-angle glaucoma). In such cases, beta-2 stimulation with its consequent increase in humour production is highly contra-indicated, and conversely, a topical beta-2 antagonist such as timolol may be employed.

Digestive system

Other

  • Inhibit histamine-release from mast cells.
  • Increase protein content of secretions from lacrimal glands.
  • Receptor also present in cerebellum.
  • Bronchiole dilation (targeted while treating asthma attacks)
  • Involved in brain - immune - communication [18]
