{alpha}1-Adrenergic Receptor Subtypes

Molecular Structure, Function, and Signaling

*    Introduction
 
The {alpha}1ARs are important mediators of sympathetic nervous system responses, particularly those involved in cardiovascular homeostasis, such as arteriolar smooth muscle constriction and cardiac contraction.1 2 In addition, {alpha}1ARs have more recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy, in ischemia-induced cardiac arrhythmias, and in ischemic preconditioning.1 3 Like other ARs, {alpha}1ARs are activated by the catecholamines, norepinephrine and epinephrine. They are intrinsic membrane glycoproteins and are members of the GPCR superfamily.

Over the past 10 to 15 years, data initially based on functional, radioligand, and biochemical studies have accumulated, indicating that the {alpha}1ARs are a heterogeneous group of distinct but related proteins. This conclusion has been confirmed with the molecular cloning of three distinct {alpha}1-receptor subtypes, although until recently discrepancies between the properties of the cloned expressed receptors and those characterized pharmacologically and biochemically have led to confusion in the classification of {alpha}1-receptor subtypes and their coupled effector responses.

As detailed in the present review, much of this confusion has now been clarified for the three cloned {alpha}1ARs. These and other recent insights into the molecular structure, function, and signaling of {alpha}1ARs, the control of {alpha}1AR-gene expression, and pharmacological evidence for additional {alpha}1AR subtypes will be reviewed here. For additional information, the reader is also referred to several previous reviews of {alpha}1ARs.4 5 6 7


*    {alpha}1AR Subtypes
 
Functional studies of AR responses, particularly from the laboratories of McGrath8 and Ruffolo,9 provided the initial evidence that there may be subtypes of {alpha}1ARs. These studies indicated that postjunctional responses mediated by {alpha}1ARs could not be explained adequately . . . [Full Text of this Article]
