Abstract

This review is intended to discuss recent developments in the molecular pharmacology of the all adrenergic receptor (α₁-AR) subtypes. After a brief historical development, we will focus on the more contemporary issues having to do with this receptor family. Emphasis will be put on recent data regarding the cloning, nomenclature, signalling mechanisms, and genomic organization of the α₁-AR subtypes. We will also highlight recent mutational studies that identify key amino acid residues involved in ligand binding, as well as the role of the α₁-AR subtypes in regulating physiologic processes.
