Within this context, there is evidence that heterotrimeric G proteins (G proteins) regulate the intracellular signaling ways activated by receptors to neurotrophic factors, making G proteins a possible molecular target of

antidepressant drug imipramine on the expression of subunits [alpha] (G[alpha]) of G proteins.
