Abstract excerpt
Stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptor normally results in signaling by the heterotrimeric G protein G(s), leading to the activation of adenylyl cyclase, production of cAMP, and activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Here we report that cell death of thymocytes can be induced after stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptor, or by addition of exogenous cAMP. Apoptotic cell death in both cases was...
