Abstract excerpt
In rat neonatal myocytes, a constitutively active G alpha(q) causes cellular injury and apoptosis. However, stimulation of the alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor, one of the G(q) protein-coupled receptors, with phenylephrine for 48 h causes little cellular injury and apoptosis. Expression of the G beta gamma-sequestering peptide beta ARK-ct increases the phenylephrine-induced cardiac injury, indicating that G beta...
