Abstract excerpt
alpha-Thrombin activates several G-proteins including members of the Gq, Gi, and G12/13 families, although the physiological importance of these proteins is still not completely understood. We specifically investigated the role of Gq alpha in modulating alpha-thrombin-induced mitogenesis. In Gqa1 cells, a stable cell line expressing reduced amounts of Gq alpha, concentrations of alpha-thrombin (1 NIH unit/ml),...
