RhoA/ROCK signaling and pleiotropic α1A-adrenergic receptor regulation of cardiac contractility.

To determine the mechanisms by which the α1A-adrenergic receptor (AR) regulates cardiac contractility.We reported previously that transgenic mice with cardiac-restricted α1A-AR overexpression (α1A-TG) exhibit enhanced contractility but not hypertrophy, despite evidence implicating this Gαq/11-couple...
