Abstract excerpt
The beta-arrestins (ARRB1 and ARRB2) regulate G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) dependent- and independent-signaling pathways and are ubiquitously expressed. Here we show that ARRB2 mRNA and protein expression is enriched in macrophages, and that it regulates complement C1q expression and cell survival. Basal and Toll-like receptor (TLR) inducible expression of mRNAs encoding the complement subcomponents C1qa,...
