Abstract

We have analyzed 3.4 kb of DNA from the 5'-flanking region of the rat beta 2-adrenergic receptor gene and assessed its promoter activity in A549 cells, a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line. A single transcription start site was identified approx. 223 bp upstream of the ATG start codon. A549 cells were transfected with luciferase reporter plasmids containing segments of the rat beta 2-adrenergic receptor 5'-flanking region. Our results suggest that both positive and negative cis-acting regulatory sequences are present in the 5'-flanking region of the rat beta 2-adrenergic receptor gene.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
