Glycyrrhetic Acid Synergistically Enhances β2-Adrenergic Receptor-Gs Signaling by Changing the Location of Gαs in Lipid Rafts

Glycyrrhetic acid (GA) exerts synergistic anti-asthmatic effects via a β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR)-mediated pathway. Cholesterol is an important component of the structure and function of lipid rafts, which play critical roles in the β2AR-Gs-adenylate cyclase (AC)-mediated signaling pathway. Owing...
