The key signaling pathways suspected to be activated in cardiomyocytes by the apelin receptor. Apelin binding can promote Gαi, Gαq, and β-arrestin recruitment to the receptor, these pathways are thought to ultimately lead to cardiac inotropy without hypertrophy. However, in the absence of apelin, β-arrestin recruitment may lead to stretch-mediated hypertrophy.
