Common β2-AR coding SNPs and in vitro drug responses.

Amino Acid Change Nucleotide Change Drug Response Studied Reference
Arg16Gly 46A→G Gly16 increased agonist-promoted down-regulation; others find Gly16 may be resistant to desensitization Green et al., 1994, 1995; Chong et al., 2000; Moore et al., 2000
Gln27Glu 79C→G Glu27 resistant to, or blunted, down-regulation Green et al., 1994, 1995; Chong et al., 2000; Moore et al., 2000
Val34Met 100G→A No functional effect reported
Thr164Ile 491C→T Decreased functional coupling to Gs; decreased sequestration Green et al., 1993, 2001; Turki et al., 1996; Buscher et al., 2002
