Abstract excerpt
1: We recently demonstrated that endothelin-1 (ET-1) activates two types of Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channels (NSCC-1 and NSCC-2) in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing endothelin(B) receptors (CHO-ET(B)R) that couple with G(q) and G(i). The purpose of the present study was to identify the G proteins involved in the activation of these Ca(2+) channels by ET-1. For this purpose, we constructed CHO...
