The adrenergic receptors : in the 21st century
"In The Adrenergic Receptors: In the 21st Century, senior scientists who have developed novel molecular approaches describe the state-of-the-art understanding of the structure and function of the adrenergic receptor subtypes, as well as the role played by these receptors in physiological and pathophysiological settings. Topics range from structure-function studies and the imaging of adrenergic receptors to the use of genetically altered mouse models and pharmacogenomics. Many of the methods described can be applied to characterize any receptor of interest. Highlights include a survey of the knockout and overexpressed mouse models, a review of the new ways that adrenergic receptors can signal, and the effects of polymorphisms on both clinical outcomes and potential gene therapy applications
