ADRB3 Antibody / Beta-3 Adrenergic Receptor

The beta-3 adrenergic receptor, also known as ADRB3, is a beta-adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it. It is mapped to 8p11.23. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of beta adrenergic receptors, which mediate catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. This receptor is located mainly in the adipose tissue and is involved in the regulation of lipolysis and thermogenesis. Obesity and bodyweight-related disorders are correlated with certain polymorphisms in three subtypes of beta-adrenoceptor, among them, the ADRB3 gene.
