Gene: ADRB3

Alternate names for this Gene: BETA3AR

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of beta adrenergic receptors, which mediate catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. This receptor is located mainly in the adipose tissue and is involved in the regulation of lipolysis and thermogenesis. Obesity and bodyweight-related disorders are correlated with certain polymorphisms in three subtypes of beta-adrenoceptor, among them, the ADRB3 gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8p11.23

Description of this Gene: adrenoceptor beta 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
