Abstract

This laboratory has studies underway on the molecular characterization of the major receptors of the autonomic nervous system, as well as the slow inward calcium channel of cardiac and smooth muscle (1). The receptors under investigation include α1, α2, β1 and β2-adrenergic, muscarinic cholinergic and dopaminergic types. To date we have made substantial progress with the complete purification of α1, βl and β2 adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors and have molecular size information on α2-adrenergic and D2 dopaminergic receptors (Table I).
