NCIt definition : Human ADRB2 wild-type allele is located within 5q31-q32 and is approximately 2 kb
in length. This allele, which encodes beta-2 adrenergic receptor protein, plays a
role in the regulation of both calcium channel complex regulation and adenylyl cyclase
activity. A variety of polymorphic forms of the gene are associated with nocturnal
asthma, obesity and type 2 diabetes. These variants are frequently generated by point
mutations and downregulation of the gene.;
NCIt note : This gene contains no introns in either its coding or untranslated sequences.;
