Beta 3-adrenergic receptors (B3-AR) are thought to play an important role in regulating energy expenditure and B3-selective agonists are being developed as anti-obesity drugs. A number of unresolved issues persist regarding the potential of this receptor as an anti-obesity target. Knockout mice lacking B3-AR have been generated in the previous grant period. The present application proposed to 1) use mice lacking B3-ARs to assess the role of B3-ARs in regulating energy balance: influence of diet and background genes 2) to assess effects of genetically altered a2-AR/B3AR ratios or the Trp64Arg human B3-AR variant on adrenergic signalling in adipocytes; 3) to determine the molecular basis for selective expression of human B3-ARs in brown adipocytes; 4) to use mice lacking B3-AR to establish the existence of additional atypical B-ARs and to molecularly clone and characterize these novel receptors.

β3-肾上腺素能受体（B3-AR）被认为发挥重要 在调节能量消耗和B3选择性激动剂中的作用是 作为抗肥胖药物开发。 许多未解决的问题 坚持这种受体作为抗肥胖的潜力 目标。 在上一只中已经产生了缺乏B3-AR的敲除老鼠 赠款期。 提议的本应用程序1）使用缺少的小鼠 B3-ARS评估B3-AR在调节能源平衡中的作用： 饮食和背景基因的影响2）评估 遗传改变的A2-AR/B3AR比率或TRP64ARG人B3-ar 脂肪细胞中肾上腺素能信号的变体； 3）确定 在棕色中选择性表达人B3-AR的分子基础 脂肪细胞； 4）使用缺乏B3-AR的小鼠建立 附加非典型B-AR和分子克隆并表征 这些新颖的受体。
