The sympathetic nervous system is one component of the nervous regulatory system of the physiological function of the lower genitourinary tract. Our knowledge on the role of this sympathetic system has advanced during the last decade due to the characterization of beta(3)-adrenoceptors (beta(3)-ARs) in the urogenital system. This review focuses on the pharmacological and molecular evidence supporting the functional roles of beta(3)-AR in male genitourinary tissues of various species.
