Tilley Abstract: G protein-coupled receptors signal through a variety of mechanisms that impact cardiac function, including contractility and hypertrophy. G protein–dependent and G protein–independent pathways each have the capacity to initiate numerous intracellular signaling cascades to mediate these effects. G protein–dependent signaling has been studied for decades and great strides continue to be made in defining the intricate pathways and effectors regulated by G proteins and their impact on cardiac function. G protein–independent signaling is a relatively newer concept that is being explored more frequently in the cardiovascular system. Recent studies have begun to reveal how TI - G Protein–Dependent and G Protein–Independent Signaling Pathways and Their Impact on Cardiac Function JF - Circulation Research DO - 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.110.231225 DA - 2011-07-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wolters-kluwer-health/g-protein-ndash-dependent-and-g-protein-ndash-independent-signaling-9fWtxHIufJ SP - 217–230-217&ndash EP - ndash;230-217–230 VL - 109 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
