ADRA1B: a G protein-coupled catecholamine receptor that activates mitogenic responses and regulates growth and proliferation of many cells. There are 3 alpha-1-AR subtypes: alpha-1A, -1B and -1D, all of which signal through the Gq/11 family of G-proteins and different subtypes show different patterns of activation. Can induce neoplastic transformation when transfected into cell lines. Can regulate the phosphorylation status of the STAT3 pathway. Mediates blood pressure and aorta contractile responses induced by alpha-1 agonists. Activates a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system.
