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).

      Key Mechanism Factor 2
Factor Name Adrenergic receptor alpha-1 Structure Sequence
Protein Family G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Protein Function
This alpha-adrenergic receptor mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Its effect is mediated by G(q) and G(11) proteins. Nuclear ADRA1A-ADRA1B heterooligomers regulate phenylephrine(PE)-stimulated ERK signaling in cardiac myocytes.

      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Carteolol (ophthalmic) and Terazosin 

Recommended Action
      Management Caution is advised during coadministration of these agents, particularly when initiating an alpha-blocker in the presence of a beta-blocker, including ophthalmic formulations. Small initial dosages of the alpha-blocker should be considered and gradually titrated to desired effect, while the systemic beta-blocker dosage may also need to be reduced. Hemodynamic responses should be monitored, especially during the first few weeks of therapy. Taking the alpha-blocker at bedtime may minimize the occurrence of orthostatic effects. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.
