Abstract
Vertebrate adrenergic G-protein coupled receptors control the functioning of many systems in the body including the heart, peripheral blood vessels and the brain. It is assumed that such receptors are activated by the catecholamines noradrenaline and adrenaline. This project aims to see if the signalling properties of such receptors can be modified by the binding of modulatory molecules other than catecholamines. It will increase our basic knowledge of how adrenergic neurones talk to the cells with which they interact.
