Scope note: Proteínas de la superficie celular que unen con alta afinidad la epinefrina y/o norepinefrina y que generan cambios intracelulares. Las dos clases principales de receptores adrenérgicos, alfa y beta, se discriminaron originalmente basándose en sus acciones celulares, pero ahora se distinguen por su afinidad relativa para ligandos sintéticos característicos. Los receptores adrenérgicos también pueden clasificarse de acuerdo con los subtipos de proteínas G a que están unidos, si bien este esquema no establece distinción alfa/beta.

Scope note: Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction.
