Adrenergic β2 Receptors
The adrenergic β2 receptor (β2-adrenoceptor) is a member of the adrenergic receptor group of G-protein-coupled receptors that also includes α1A, α1B, α1D, α2A, α2B, α2C, β1 and β3. They are located primarily in the CNS, heart, kidney and muscle.

The adrenergic β2 receptor (β2-adrenoceptor) is a member of the adrenergic receptor group of G-protein-coupled receptors that also includes α1A, α1B, α1D, α2A, α2B, α2C, β1 and β3. They are located primarily in the CNS, heart, kidney and muscle where they are involved in smooth muscle relaxation (e.g. bronchodilation). The human adrenergic β2 receptor gene has been localized to chromosome 5 (5q31-q32)

Asthma Poster
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, affecting over 300 million people. This poster highlights key pathways and new therapies used to treat the condition, including those currently in clinical development.
Cardiovascular Poster
Cardiovascular disease remains one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the Western world and therefore this therapeutic area continues to be of great interest to researchers. This poster highlights the key GPCRs regulating vascular reactivity.
Depression Poster
Major depressive disorder is characterized by depressed mood and a loss of interest and/or pleasure. Updated in 2015 this poster highlights presynaptic and postsynaptic targets for the potential treatment of major depressive disorder, as well as outlining the pharmacology of currently approved antidepressant drugs.
