Abstract excerpt
Mice deficient in regulator of G-protein signaling-2 (RGS2) have severe hypertension, and RGS2 genetic variations occur in hypertensive humans. A potentially important negative feedback loop in blood pressure homeostasis is that angiotensin II (Ang II) increases vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) RGS2 expression. We reported that Group VIA phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)β) is required for this response (Xie, Z.,...
