cGMP-dependent protein kinase I mediates the negative inotropic effect of cGMP in the murine myocardium.

Abstract excerpt

To study the role of cGMP-dependent protein kinase I (cGKI) for cardiac contractility, force of contraction (F(c)) was studied in electrically driven heart muscle from wild-type (WT) mice and from conventional and conditional cGKI knockout mice. Both 8-Br-cGMP and 8-pCPT-cGMP reduced Fc in cardiac muscle from juvenile WT but not from juvenile cGKI-null mutants. Similarly, the cGMP analogues reduced F(c) in...
