Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Regulator of G protein signalling (RGS) proteins act as molecular 'off switches' that terminate G protein signalling by catalyzing the hydrolysis of Gα-bound GTP to GDP. Many different Gα(i)-coupled receptors have been implicated in the cardioprotective effects of ischaemic preconditioning. However, the role of RGS proteins in modulating cardioprotection has not been previously investigated. We used mice...
