| Receptors, Adrenergic Adrenergic Receptors | Adrenoceptors | Receptors, Epinephrine | Receptors, Norepinephrine | Adrenergic Receptor | Epinephrine Receptors | Norepinephrine Receptors | Receptor, Adrenergic Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction. | |
