A beta-adrenergic receptor is a receptor in tissues supplied by sympathetic adrenergic nerves that belongs to the beta class of adrenergic receptors. It responds to epinephrine and norepinephrine and, when activated, can raise cellular cyclic AMP and produce effects such as increased heart activity, fat breakdown, or relaxation of bronchial and vascular smooth muscle depending on the receptor subtype.
