Pathological cardiac hypertrophy involves auto/paracrine mediators acting through G q/11-
coupled receptors. A novel signaling route stimulated by βγ-subunits of G q/11 results in the
autophosphorylation of ERK1/2 on a new site and the nuclear retention of ERK1/2, thereby
activating hypertrophic gene programs.
