description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptor activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential and beta1-adrenergic receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, sleep. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; diet induced thermogenesis; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by norepinephrine-epinephrine. Located in membrane. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and neuronal dense core vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; exocrine gland; hemolymphoid system gland; intestine; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; hypertension (multiple); low tension glaucoma; obstructive sleep apnea; and periodontitis. Orthologous to human ADRB1 (adrenoceptor beta 1). PHENOTYPE: Most mice homozygous for targeted mutations that inactivate the gene die prenatally, with the penetrance of lethality showing strain dependence. Surviving knockouts appear normal, but lack the chronotropic and inotropic responses seen in wild-type mice when beta-AR agonists such as isoproterenol are administered. [provided by MGI curators] |
