17 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Alteration of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling is a salient feature of hypertension and the associated heart diseases. Recent studies have revealed a large family of Regulators of G-protein Signaling (RGS) proteins as important endogenous regulators of GPCR signaling. RGS2 selectively regulates Galphaq/11 signaling, an essential cause of hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. Both clinical and animal...
