Dopamine-1 Receptor Coupling Defect in Renal Proximal Tubule Cells in Hypertension

TL;DR: The uncoupling of the D1 receptor in both rats (previously described) and humans (described here) suggests that this mechanism may be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension; the uncoupled may be due to ligand-independent phosphorylation of the C-protein/AC pathway in hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amelioration of Genetic Hypertension by Suppression of Renal G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase Type 4 Expression

TL;DR: These studies provide direct evidence of a crucial role of renal GRK4 in the D1 receptor control of sodium excretion and blood pressure in genetic hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential expression of adenylyl cyclases in the rat nephron.

TL;DR: Tissue distribution of adenylyl cyclases along the nephron of Wistar-Kyoto rats is investigated to establish the linkage between receptors and specific AC isoforms and define their functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of NHE3 activity by G protein subunits in renal brush-border membranes.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided of a direct regulatory role for G(s)alpha, independent of second messengers, in the D(1)-like-mediated inhibition of NHE3 activity in rat renal BBMV and beta/gamma dimers of heterotrimeric G proteins appear to have a stimulatory effect on NHE2 activity in B BMV.
