Abstract

A human adrenergic receptor polypeptide and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptide and a procedure for producing such polypeptide by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are agonists for the adrenergic receptor polypeptide which may be used therapeutically to stimulate the adrenergic receptor and antagonist inhibitors against such adrenergic receptor polypeptides and their use therapeutically to antagonize the adrenergic receptor. Also disclosed are diagnostic methods for detecting mutations in the polynucleotides of the present invention and for detecting levels of the soluble polypeptides in samples derived from a host.
