Summary of ADRB1
The ADRB1 gene encodes the beta-1 adrenergic receptor [R].
This receptor is bound and activated by epinephrine (aka adrenaline) and norepinephrine (aka noradrenaline), two brain chemicals that help activate the “fight or flight” response [R].
ADRB1 increases heart rate and the strength of the heart’s contractions. Increased ADRB1 activity is associated with increased blood pressure [R, R, R].
Variants in ADRB1 have been associated with:
Low sensitivity to opioid painkillers [R]
The Function of ADRB1
Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. This receptor binds epinephrine and norepinephrine with approximately equal affinity. Mediates Ras activation through G(s)-alpha- and cAMP-mediated signaling.

Advanced Summary
From NCBI Gene: Resting heart rate
From NCBI Gene: The adrenergic receptors (subtypes alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, and beta 2) are a prototypic family of guanine nucleotide binding regulatory protein-coupled receptors that mediate the physiological effects of the hormone epinephrine and the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Specific polymorphisms in this gene have been shown to affect the resting heart rate and can be involved in heart failure. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] From UniProt: Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. This receptor binds epinephrine and norepinephrine with approximately equal affinity. Mediates Ras activation through G(s)-alpha- and cAMP-mediated signaling.
