Abstract excerpt
Cardiac function is controlled by GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors) which exert their function by triggering numerous signalling pathways, including the activation of PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase). The GPCR-activated PI3Kgamma is weakly expressed in the heart, but the deletion of its expression in mice causes remarkable phenotypes. Indeed, the lack of PI3Kgamma does not modify heart rate and blood pressure,...
