Abstract excerpt
The platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor (PAFR) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates a diverse array of biological responses to PAF. Recently, we provided evidence that the third intracellular domain (3i) of the rat PAFR (rPAFR) is a critical determinant in its coupling to phosphoinositide phospholipase C (PI PLC)-activating G proteins. In the present study, we assessed the potential role of...
