Abstract excerpt
In cardiac myocytes, growth responses depend on activation of G protein-coupled receptors interacting with Gq/11 protein subfamily members. Endothelin receptors of the ETA subtype belong to this receptor group inducing hypertrophic responses. To understand the role of ETA receptors and signal transduction proteins in modulating cell growth, we analyzed the pharmacological profile of this receptor, its level of...
