β2-adrenoreceptor

Organism

Rat 1; Mouse 2

Functional implication

Agonist treatment leads to movement out of caveolae 3; Caveolae disruption by filipin or cyclodextrin increased cAMP accumulation and contraction rate 2' 3; The receptor colocalized with Adenylyl scyclase 6 (AC6) in lipid raft fractions 4.

Methods used to detect raft association

Detergent-free 3, 5, 4; Immunoblot analysis 4 

Mechanism of raft association

Bound caveolin-15

Caveolin-binding motif

Yes 6

Cell type

COS-7 cells 5, Cardiomyocytes 3; Cardiac fibroblastas 3; Neonatal myocytes 2; bronchial smooth muscle cells 4; HEK-293 4  

Species

Monkey 5; Rat 3, 1; Mouse 2, 4; Human 4

Receptor expression
