Abstract excerpt
It is generally thought that activation of phospholipase Cbeta (PLCbeta) by Galphaq accounts for most of the effects of Gq-coupled receptors. Here we describe a novel effect of Galphaq that is independent of the PLCbeta pathway. Expression of the constitutively active Galphaq mutant Galphaq(Q209L) promoted an increase in glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) activity that was associated with increased...
