Preferred Label : receptors, adrenergic, beta-2;
MeSH definition : A subclass of beta-adrenergic receptors (RECEPTORS, ADRENERGIC, BETA). The adrenergic
beta-2 receptors are more sensitive to EPINEPHRINE than to NOREPINEPHRINE and have
a high affinity for the agonist TERBUTALINE. They are widespread, with clinically
important roles in SKELETAL MUSCLE; LIVER; and vascular, bronchial, gastrointestinal,
and genitourinary SMOOTH MUSCLE.;
