Western blot - Anti-beta 3 Adrenergic Receptor antibody (AB94506)

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab94506 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution.

IHC image of beta 3 Adrenergic Receptor staining in Mouse adipose (white) tissue formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab94506, 5μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

The beta 3 adrenergic receptor also known as beta-3 adrenoceptor or B3 adrenergic receptor is a member of the adrenergic receptor family that activates the GS protein upon binding ligands like catecholamines. This receptor approximately 408 amino acids in size has a predominant mass of around 45 kDa. It is mainly expressed in adipose tissue but also found in the gallbladder urinary bladder and the gastrointestinal tract. These receptors primarily mediate lipolysis and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue through interaction with norepinephrine and epinephrine.
Biological function summary

The beta 3 adrenergic receptor plays an important role in energy expenditure and metabolic processes. It does not typically form part of a complex but interacts with GS proteins leading to the activation of adenylyl cyclase and consequent increase in cAMP levels. This receptor is instrumental in the regulation of lipid metabolism which aids in maintaining balance in energy store.

Pathways

The beta 3 adrenergic receptor is involved in the adrenergic signaling pathways regulating energy expenditure and thermogenesis. These pathways often work together with other adrenergic receptors such as beta 1 and beta 2 receptors. An important pathway involving the beta 3 adrenergic receptor is the cAMP-dependent pathway which influences metabolic functions and energy homeostasis in the body.

The beta 3 adrenergic receptor is associated with obesity and diabetes. Altered function or expression of this receptor can impact the body's ability to regulate energy metabolism leading to these metabolic disorders. The receptor's function has connections with insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) as changes in energy metabolism affect insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis. Abnormal adrenergic receptor activity can also contribute to bladder disorders due to its expression in the urinary system.

Target data

G protein-coupled receptor for catecholamines that couples to both G(s) and G(i) proteins, leading to either activation or inhibition of adenylate cyclase and cAMP-dependent pathway, respectively (PubMed : 1718744). The rank order of potency for physiological agonists is norepinephrine > epinephrine (By similarity). Involved in the regulation of thermogenesis and lipolysis in brown and white adipose tissue, after coupling to G(s) proteins and stimulation of the cAMP-PKA axis (PubMed : 10207024, PubMed : 1718744). Also activates lipolytic process by coupling to G(i) proteins and consequent initiation of the ERK1/2 MAP kinase cascade (PubMed : 10207024, PubMed : 17032647). Participates in relaxation of the blood vessels and the urinary bladder. Also mediates negative inotropic effects in cardiomyocytes through activation of an NO synthase pathway and subsequent increase in cGMP levels, possibly involving G(i/o) protein-mediated coupling (By similarity).
