Abstract;At the beginning, .BETA.-arrestin is believed to regulate desensitization of G protein-coupled receptors. However, it becomes apparent that .BETA.-arrestin is involved in not only regulation but also signal transduction by identification of many proteins interacting with .BETA.-arrestin. So far, the model of regulation and signaling of G protein-coupled receptor is built on .BETA.2-adrenergic receptor. However, this model does not apply to all G protein-coupled receptors. The differential regulation and signaling between .BETA.1- and .BETA.2-adrenergic receptors is presented. (author abst.)
