Evidence against a regulation of Na+/K+-ATPase by Gi proteins. Failure to detect an influence of G proteins on Na+/Ca2+-exchange in cardiac sarcolemmal membranes
Abstract:In the myocardium the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (Gi proteins) mediate negative chronotropic and negative inotropic effects by activation of K+ channels and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. The concept of a uniform inhibitory action of Gi proteins on myocardial cellular activity has been questioned by the recent observations of adenosine-induced activation of the Na+/Ca(2+) exchange and a carbachol-induced inhibition of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in cardiac sarcolemmal membranes… Show more
