Immortalized brown adipocyte cell lines derived from a mouse hibernoma express all three β-
adrenergic receptor subtypes, including β 3-adrenergic receptor (AR). In response to
norepinephrine, cAMP production by plasma membranes from four clonal cell lines was
stimulated to levels comparable with brown adipocytes isolated from interscapular brown
adipose tissue (72.8-89.6 versus 97.8 pmol cAMP/min/mg of protein, respectively). All cell
lines responded to the highly selective β 3-adrenergic receptor agonist CL316, 243 by …
