Gene Name ADRB1
Uniprot ID ADRB1_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:153
Protein Family G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Protein Function
Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. This receptor binds epinephrine and norepinephrine with approximately equal affinity. Mediates Ras activation through G(s)-alpha- and cAMP-mediated signaling. Involved in the regulation of sleep/wake behaviors (PubMed:31473062).

Recommended Action
      Management If medically feasible, antihypertensive medications should be interrupted 24 hours prior to amifostine administration. Blood pressure should be closely monitored during and after treatment. In addition to hypotension, transient hypertension or exacerbation of preexisting hypertension may occur from intravenous hydration, discontinuation of antihypertensive medications, or other causes. Patients who continue their hypotensive medication(s) during amifostine therapy should be carefully monitored for the development of hypotension.
