Gi proteins regulate adenylyl cyclase activity independent of receptor activation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Despite the view that only β2- as opposed to β1-adrenoceptors (βARs) couple to G(i), some data indicate that the β1AR-evoked inotropic response is also influenced by the inhibition of Gi. Therefore, we wanted to determine if Gi exerts tonic receptor-independent inhibition upo...
