α-Adrenergic Receptors

  • Chapter
  • 66 Accesses

Abstract

Adrenergic receptors are discrete recognition sites located on the plasma membrane of cells. Their primary function is to recognize and to bind epinephrine and related molecules, which can initiate several biochemical processes resulting in a physiological response. In addition to catecholamines, several other hormones of different structure are also able to change the properties of these receptors, reflecting their dynamic nature.
