MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH annotation : GEN; prefer specifics; coord IM with specific adrenergic agent (IM); DF: RECEPT ADREN; general or unspecified; prefer specifics; coordinate with specific adrenergic agent;
