Genetic variation in β-adrenergic receptors in mice: A magnesium effect determined by a single gene
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 April 2009
Summary
Genetic variation in the amount of binding of dihydroalprenolol (a potent antagonist) to hepatocyte β-adrenergic receptors has been observed among inbred strains of mice. This variation is attributed to a differential effect of magnesium on the receptors between the high and low binding strains. Evidence for a single gene controlling the magnesium effect on dihydroalprenolol binding to β-adrenergic receptors was found using recombinant inbred lines between the high and low strains. We suggest the provisional gene symbol Badm.
