Adrenergic receptor autoantibodies
The adrenergic receptors (or adrenoreceptors) are a class of cell membrane-bound protein receptors throughout the body that are targets of the catecholamines, especially norepinephrine (or noradrenaline) and epinephrine (or adrenaline). The binding to these receptors by catecholamines will generally stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, the arm of the autonomic nervous system responsible for the fight-or-flight response.
Adrenergic receptor autoantibodies are autoantibodies (antibodies directed against a person's own protein) targeting adrenergic receptors.
