Abstract excerpt
Auriculo-condylar syndrome (ACS), a rare condition that impairs craniofacial development, is caused by mutations in a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathway. In mice, disruption of signaling by the endothelin type A receptor (ET(A)R), which is mediated by the G protein (heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein) subunit Gα(q/11) and subsequently phospholipase C (PLC), impairs neural crest...
