UniProt functional annotation for P13945

UniProt code: P13945.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. Beta- 3 is involved in the regulation of lipolysis and thermogenesis.
 
Subunit: Interacts with ARRDC3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21982743}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Expressed mainly in adipose tissues.
Polymorphism: The variant Arg-64 seems to be associated with weight gain (obesity) and is also associated with susceptibility to non- insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8721782, ECO:0000305|PubMed:7609752}.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Adrenergic receptor subfamily. ADRB3 sub-subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}.
