[Adenylate cyclase and adrenoreceptors in the myometrium]. 1990

S G Shlykov

Data are presented on the content and hormonal regulation of alpha- and beta-adrenoreceptors in myometrium, interrelation of adrenoreceptors with adenylate-cyclase and contractile state of myometrium. Processes in the structure of adenyl-cyclase complex during the enzyme desensitization have been discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009215	Myometrium	The smooth muscle coat of the uterus, which forms the main mass of the organ.	Uterine Muscle,Muscle, Uterine,Muscles, Uterine,Uterine Muscles
D011941	Receptors, Adrenergic	Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction.
