  "summary": "Many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are capable of activating multiple heterotrimeric G protein subtypes. The angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) couples to both Gq and Gi family members, and the two families mediate distinct aspects of the effects of angiotensin II (AngII) on blood pressure and fluid balance. Previous work has pointed to fundamental differences in the strength and…",
