Abstract excerpt
Regulation of uterine tone during pregnancy and parturition involves G protein-coupled receptors that modulate cellular levels of cAMP. Cyclic AMP is synthesized by a family of at least nine adenylyl cyclase enzymes that have unique tissue distributions, basal activities, and modes of regulation....
