[35S]GTPγS binding studies were performed on membranes as described in Experimental Procedures. pEC50 and pIC50 values were derived from the curves.Emax values and Imax values were calculated, and pIC50 values were corrected into pIC50-corr values as described under Experimental Procedures. The results are mean ± S.D. values fromn independent experiments.
