The role of inhibitory G proteins and regulators of G protein signaling in the in vivo control of heart rate and predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]
, 2012 Inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins and the control of heart rate. The activation of cell signaling pathways involving inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins acts to slow the heart rate via modulation of ion channels.

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004 In guinea pig single ileal smooth muscle cells held under voltage-clamp, the role of phospholipase C (PLC) in activation of the muscarinic receptor-operated cationic current (Icat) was studied. U73122, a PLC inhibitor, prevented the generation of Icat by

Spike frequency adaptation affects the synchronization properties of networks of cortical oscillators [PDF]
, 1997 Oscillations in many regions of the cortex have common temporal characteristics with dominant frequencies centered around the 40 Hz (gamma) frequency range and the 5–10 Hz (theta) frequency range.

Unique responses of the fixed stoichiometric TRPC1–TRPC5 concatemer to G proteins
Frontiers in PhysiologyTransient receptor potential canonical (TRPC)5 channel is a non-selective cation channel that plays a significant role in membrane depolarization and calcium influx. TRPC5 not only forms homotetramers itself but also heterotetramers with TRPC1.

Dynamic regulation of quaternary organization of the M1 muscarinic receptor by subtype-selective antagonist drugs [PDF]
, 2016 Although rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors can exist as both monomers and non-covalently associated dimers/oligomers, the steady-state proportion of each form and whether this is regulated by receptor ligands is unknown.

Do anionic phospholipids serve as cofactors or second messengers for the regulation of activity of cloned ATP-sensitive K+ channels? [PDF]
, 2003 The regulation of ion channels by anionic phospholipids is currently very topical. An outstanding issue is whether phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate and related species act as true second messengers in signaling or behave in a manner analogous to an ...

Carbachol as miotic agent in intra-ocular lens implant surgery
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 1988 The intra cameral use of 0.025% carbachol as a miotic agent in anterior chamber intraocular lens im-plant surgery us reported in 15 cases. Carbachol produced prompt and effective moisis and was found to be harmless and non-irritating to the ...

Target-selective GABAergic control of entorhinal cortex output. [PDF]
, 2010 The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) is a major center for spatial navigation and memory. We found that cannabinoid type 1 receptor-expressing GABAergic basket cells selectively innervated principal cells in layer II of the rat MEC that projected outside ...

The G alpha q and G alpha 11 proteins couple the thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor to phospholipase C in GH3 rat pituitary cells [PDF]
, 1992 Thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulates the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in GH3 cell membranes. The stimulation of the phosphoinositide phospholipase C (PI/PLC) activity can be blocked by incubation of GH3 membranes with ...
