Heterotrimeric G proteins are related to processes in plant, including seed germination,shoot elongation,root growth,fruit development,and the plant response to light,ozone,hormones,and pathogens.

Wild type Arabidopsis thaliana and its mutants in which heterotrimeric G proteinα subunit gene GPA1 was null(gpα1-1,gp α1-2) or over-expressed(wGα,cGα) were studied.

The wild type Arabidopsis thaliana and its mutants in which heterotrimeric G protein α subunit gene GPA1 was null (gpα1-1,gpα1-2) or over-expressed (wGα,cGα) were used as main materials.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) which constitute the largest superfamily of receptors in human genome, regulate a variety of physiological functions and pathological processes.

Extra-cellular signals are directly or indirectly transmitted into cells by G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs).

G-protein coupled receptors(GPCRs)belong to the biggest subfamily of transmembran receptors.

A Rapid, Nongenomic Mechanism of Androgens in Prostate Cancer Cells Via a G Protein-Coupled Receptor;

G Protein-coupled receptors are a group of drug targets with important physiological functions and of pathological significance.

Here we report that growth cones of rat cerebellar axons in culture turned away from a gradient of SDF-1, a chemokine that attracts migrating leukocytes and cerebellar granule cells via a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR).
