Relative agonist rank order of efficacy for IP accumulation, Ca2+ release, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in WT and RSK2 KO MEFs

Letters in parentheses indicate group assignment. Mean relative efficacies were analyzed via one-way ANOVA, and significant differences were determined via the Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison post-test (significance set at p < 0.05). Agonists were arranged in descending order (i.e. 1 through 9) and placed into statistically homogeneous groups (i.e., a through f) such that significant differences in rank order are denoted by changes in group membership. Agonists with nonoverlapping group assignments were considered to be significantly different.
