Signaling and regulation of G protein-coupled receptors in airway smooth muscle

Signaling and regulation of G protein-coupled receptors in airway smooth muscle

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Signaling through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediates numerous airway smooth muscle (ASM) functions including contraction, growth, and "synthetic" functions that orchestrate airway inflammation and promote remodeling of airway architecture. In...
