The alpha(2C)-adrenergic receptor (alpha(2C)AR) is known to be poorly trafficked to the cell surface when expressed in a variety of cell types. We tested the hypothesis that the surface expression and signaling of alpha(2C)AR might be enhanced by heterodimerization with other G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Cotransfection of alpha(2C)AR with more than 25 related GPCRs revealed that only coexpression with the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) increased the surface localization of (alpha(2C)AR) in human embryonic kidney-293 cells. Coimmunoprecipitation of alpha(2C)AR with B(2)AR confirmed a physical interaction between the two receptors. Confocal microscopy studies demonstrated that alpha(2C)AR expressed alone was mainly intracellular, whereas alpha(2C)AR coexpressed with beta(2)AR was predominantly localized to the plasma membrane. Ligand binding studies revealed a significant
