Source Organism

Cavia porcellus (Guinea pig).

Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia;Hystricognathi; Caviidae; Cavia.

Subcellular Localization

Membrane (By similarity).

Developmental Stage

Similarity

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Post translational Modification

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 (By similarity).
