Abstract excerpt
Increased expression of the inhibitory G protein Gi alpha-2 is assumed to contribute to desensitization of adenylyl cyclase in human heart failure. The mechanisms of upregulation involve increases in myocardial Gi alpha-2 protein, mRNA and gene transcriptional activity. To elucidate these mechanisms in more detail, the 5' flanking region of the human Gi alpha-2 gene (-1214/+115 bp) was cloned upstream of the...
