APJ downstream signaling pathway for Ca2+ dependent positive inotropic effect (PIE). APJ activation by apelin also induces PIE that accompanies increased Ca2+ transient through Gαq-dependent NCX activation (red arrows). Positive lusitropic effect (increased velocity of myocardial relaxation) is also induced via PKC-directed phosphorylation of SERCA.
