A similar transduction pathway involving Gs and PKA has been identified in response to activation of 3-adrenoceptors in the same myocytes (Viard direct interaction between the Ca2+ channel complex and the G subunits released from the activated G protein heterotrimer (Ikeda, 1996; De Waard PI3K; accordingly, infusion of cells with purified PI3K also stimulates L-type Ca2+ channels (Viard em et al /em ., 1999). as well as a pre-treatment with wortmannin (a PI3K inhibitor) blocked the 2-adrenergic stimulation of IBa. These results suggest that the 2-adrenergic stimulation of vascular L-type Ca2+ channels involves both Gs and G subunits which exert…
