Signaling of G(alpha)(12) family of G proteins through a tyrosine kinase and a Ras-GAP.
Review
Overview
abstract
G(12) heterotrimeric G proteins transduce signals from a number of receptors involved in the regulation of cardiovascular function. Recently, it has been discovered that these G proteins regulate the activity of Bruton's tyrosine kinase and Ras-GAP1(m) through a conserved PH-BM domain. These findings provide new insights into the signaling pathways initiated by G(12), which regulate cytoskeletal organization, cell proliferation and cardiovascular function.
