p63RhoGEF - Summary • p63RhoGEF is mainly expressed in heart and brain tissue. • p63RhoGEF activates RhoA, but not Rac1 or Cdc42 • p63RhoGEF is activated by Gaq/11 proteins. • p63RhoGEF interacts directly with active Gaq/11 proteins. • p63RhoGEFenhances the Endothelin 1 and Phenylephrine induced RhoA activation in cardiomyocytes. • b

GPCR induced RhoA activation mediated by p63RhoGEF and LARG G12/13PCR Gq/11PCR
The LARG induced Rho activation requires activated GPCRs Conclusion: Larg needs an active state receptor to induce RhoA activation, whereas p63RhoGEF needs only traces of Gaq protein for its activation.
