Abstract excerpt
We investigate the role of Rab4, a Ras-like small GTPase coordinating protein transport from the endosome to the plasma membrane, on the recycling and activation of endogenous beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) in HL-1 cardiac myocytes in vitro and transgenic mouse hearts in vivo. Beta1-AR, the predominant subtype of beta-AR in HL-1 cardiac myocytes, was internalized after stimulation with isoproterenol (ISO) and...
