Abstract excerpt
In gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells, VPAC(2) receptor desensitization is exclusively mediated by G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2). The present study examined the mechanisms by which acetylcholine (ACh) acting via M(3) receptors regulates GRK2-mediated VPAC(2) receptor desensitization in gastric smooth muscle cells. Vasoactive intestinal peptide induced VPAC(2) receptor phosphorylation,...
