Beta-blockers are a class of drugs that target beta-adrenergic receptors, blocking the action of epinephrine and norepinephrine.

A. Transport of the receptor-hormone complex into the cell and the nucleus, where it would regulate transcription B. A protein kinase cascade, initiated by the receptor's intracellular kinase domain C. A protein phosphatase cascade, initiated by the receptor's intracellular phosphatase domain D.
