Adrenergic Receptors Adrenergic receptors mediate the central and peripheral actions of norepi- nephrine and epinephrine. Both of these catecholamine messengers play important roles in the regulation of diverse physiological systems and are widely distributed throughout the body. Agonists and antagonists interacting with adrenergic receptors have proven useful in the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular, respiratory, and mental disorders (1,2). Adrenergic receptors were originally divided into two major types, α-adren- ergic receptor (α-AR) and β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR), based on their phar- macological characteristics (i.e., rank order potency of agonists) (3). Subsequently, the α-AR and β-AR types were further subdivided into α 1 -AR, α 2 -AR, β 1 -AR, and β 2 -AR subtypes (for a more complete historical perspec- tive see refs. 4,5). Based on both pharmacological and molecular evidence, it is now clear that a more useful classification scheme is based on three major types—α 1 -AR, α 2 -AR, and β-AR—each of which is further divided into three or four subtypes (Fig. 1) (4). 1.1.1. α 1 -AR Subtypes α 1A -AR and α 1B -AR subtypes were defined pharmacologically based on the differential affinities of WB 4101 and phentolamine (6–8), and on selective receptor inactivation by the alkylating agent chlorethylclonidine. Three α 1 -AR subtypes have been identified by molecular cloning (Table 1). The α 1B -AR from hamster was cloned first (9), followed by the bovine α 1A -AR, which 4 Scofield, Deupree, and Bylund unfortunately was prematurely identified as the α 1C -AR subtype (10,11). The α 1D -AR was cloned from the rat (12,13), although this receptor was prema- turely called the α 1A -AR. A fourth α 1 -AR subtype, called the α 1L -(based on its low affinity for prazosin), has been suggested (14,15), although its exist- ence is debatable (16). 1.1.2. α 2 -AR Subtypes The evidence for α 2 -AR subtypes initially came from binding and func- tional studies in various tissues and cell lines (17). On the basis of these stud- ies, three genetic and four pharmacological α 2 -AR subtypes have been defined. The α 2A -AR and α 2B -AR subtypes were initially defined based on differential affinity for adrenergic agents, such as prazosin and oxymetazoline (4). These subtypes were subsequently cloned from a variety of species (Table 2). A third subtype, α 2C -AR, was identified originally in an opossum kidney cell line (18,19) and has also been cloned from several species (Table 2). A fourth pharmacological subtype, the α 2D -AR, has been identified in the rat and cow (20,21). This pharmacological subtype is a species ortholog of the human α 2A -AR subtype and, thus, is not considered to be a separate genetic subtype. 1.1.3. β -AR Subtypes The β 1 -AR and β 2 -AR subtypes were identified as early as 1967 based on a comparison of the rank orders of potency of a variety of agonists (22). Highly selective antagonists for both β 1 -AR and β 2 -AR have been subsequently developed. More recently, it became apparent that not all of the β-AR-mediated responses can be classified as either β 1 -AR or β 2 -AR, and thus, the β 3 -AR was identified (23,24). This receptor has low affinity for the commonly used β antagonists and has often been referred to as the “atypical” β-AR. These Fig. 1. The current classification scheme for adrenergic receptors.
