Beta-2 adrenergic receptor
The beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β2 adrenoreceptor), also known as ADRB2, is an
beta-adrenergic receptor , and also denotes the humangene encoding it.cite web | title = Entrez Gene: ADRB1 adrenergic, beta-1-, receptor| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=153| accessdate = ]PBB_Summary

Mechanism
This receptor is directly associated with one of its ultimate effectors, the class C
L-type calcium channel CaV1.2. This receptor-channel complex also contains aG protein - Gs, which activate anadenylyl cyclase ,cAMP-dependent kinase , and the counterbalancingphosphatase ,PP2A . The assembly of the signaling complex provides a mechanism that ensures specific and rapid signaling by this G protein-coupled receptor. A two-state biophysical and molecular model has been proposed to account for the pH and REDOX sensitivity of this and other GPCRs.cite journal | author = Rubenstein LA, Zauhar RJ, Lanzara RG | title = Molecular dynamics of a biophysical model for β2-adrenergic and G protein-coupled receptor activation | journal = J.
