摘要
Zn2+ is abundant in the brain, where it plays a role in the function of a number of enzymes, structural proteins, and transcription factors. Zn2+ is also found in synaptic vesicles and is released into synapses achieving concentrations in the range of 100 to 300 muM [Proc Nat/Acad Sci USA 1997;94:13386-13387; Mol Pharmacol 1997;51:1015-1023]. Therefore, Zn2+ may play a physiological role in regulating the function of postsynaptic channels and receptors. We characterized the effect of Zn2+ on the functional properties of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR). We found that physiological concentrations of Zn2+ increased agonist affinity and enhanced cAMP accumulation stimulated by submaximal concentrations of the betaAR agonist isoproterenol. These results provide evidence that Zn2+ released at nerve terminals may modulate signals generated by the beta(2)AR in vivo.
