The endogenous catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine have profound effects on smooth muscle activity, cardiac function, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, hormone secretion, neurotransmitter release, and central nervous system actions. These activities are mediated by GPCRs belonging to two subfamilies, the α- and β-adrenergic receptors (Bylund et al., 1994). The three members of the β-adrenergic receptor family, β₁, β₂ and β₃, couple to Gs to increase cAMP upon activation. In the heart, the β₁ receptor constitutes 70-80% of the β -adrenergic receptors. Activation of cardiac β-adrenergic receptors, acutely increases heart rate, cardiac output, and cardiac automaticity, and chronically increases cardiac myocyte apoptosis. In failing hearts, the β1 subtype is downregulated and desenstitized, probably as a result of increased catecholamine levels. As a result, β-adrenergic receptor antagonists (β blockers) are effective in the treatment of congestive heart failure and arrhythmia (Lohse et al., 2003). Chemicon's cloned human β1-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant β1 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for antagonists of interactions between the β₁ and its ligands.

The adrenergic receptors (subtypes alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, and beta 2) are a prototypic family of guanine nucleotide binding regulatory protein-coupled receptors that mediate the physiological effects of the hormone epinephrine and the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Specific polymorphisms in this gene have been shown to affect the resting heart rate and can be involved in heart failure.

FUNCTION: SwissProt: P08588 # Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine- induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. This receptor binds epinephrine and norepinephrine with approximately equal affinity.
SIZE: 477 amino acids; 51323 Da
SUBUNIT: Interacts with GOPC and DLG4.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Localized at the plasma membrane. Found in the Golgi upon GOPC overexpression.
DOMAIN: SwissProt: P08588 The PDZ domain-binding motif mediates competitive interactions with GOPC and DLG4 and plays a role in subcellular location of the receptor.
PTM: Homologous desensitization of the receptor is mediated by its phosphorylation by beta-adrenergic receptor kinase.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Place cells in liquid nitrogen immediately upon receipt. Maintain frozen in liquid nitrogen for up to 5 years. Thaw cells rapidly by removing from liquid nitrogen and immediately immersing in a 37°C water bath. Immediately after ice has thawed, sterilize the exterior of the vial with 70% ethanol. Transfer contents of the vial to a T75 flask containing 20 mL growth media, and place in a humidified 37°C incubator with 5% COSUB.2. After 8-24 h, cells will adhere to the plate, at which time the media should be replaced to remove residual DMSO. Cells are passaged by washing with Ca⁺⁺ and Mg⁺⁺-free HBSS (10 mL/T75), incubating with 0.05% trypsin/0.2 g/L EDTA (1 mL/T75) for 5-10 minutes at 37°C, and rapping the side of the flask to dislodge the cells. Neutralize the trypsin by addition of 4 volumes growth media. Cells are typically passaged 1:10 with every 3-4 days, and should be passaged at least once after thawing prior to use in calcium flux assays.
