Modulation of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) receptors in insulin secreting cells.

abstract：:The molecular mechanisms involved in GPCR-initiated signaling cascades where the two receptors share the same signaling cascade, such as thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and angiotensin II (ANG II), are still far from being understood. Here, we analyzed hormone-induced Ca(2+) responses and the process of desensitiz...
