| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
GPR4 is a receptor which recognizes extracellular protons. Because pH of the heart at the time of myocardial infarction (MI) falls, we produced MI model mice with wild type and GPR4 deficient mice to investigate the roles of GPR4 in MI. We found that GPR4 deficient mice showed a decrease of survival rate and cardiac functions. We also identified GPR4 expressing cells which involved in inflammation after MI.
