Novel GPCR transactivation of serine kinases in vascular disease [ 2012 - 2015 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Peter Little (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Narin Osman

Brief description All of biology and disease is based on cells receiving signals from hormones and growth factors via cell surface receptors. Cells integrate these signals to give a response which may be cell growth or the secretion of further hormones and growth factors. Signals from receptors can intersect to modify the response. This project will explore a new interaction we have discovered where a hormone activates its receptor to cause the activation of a growth factor receptor potentially providing new drug targets in cardiovascular disease.
