Definition
A pacemaker is a rhythm generator. Biological pacemakers drive many time-dependent processes in organisms, including heart rate, cell division in embryogenesis, .
Artificial pacemakers
Artificial pacemakers are used to rescue patients with deficient pacemakers, for example when the sinus node of the heart does not function correctly. Genetically engineered pacemakers may begin to replace microelectronic pacemakers (Boink, 2006).
an oscillator, or rhythm generator. Biological pacemakers can be in a single cell, but typically involve many cells. The periods of biological pacemakers span a large range.

Heterotrimeric G proteins
Heterotrimeric G proteins are comprised of three subunits -- α, β and γ -- that exist as a complex (Gαβγ) in the GDP-bound state but dissociate (into Gα and Gβγ) upon the release of GDP and binding of GTP. Gα contains the GDP/GTP binding site and GTPase activity (Fig. 1). The C-terminus of Gα gives the G protein affinity for specific membrane-bound GPCRs (see below).
A pacemaker (in the context of NBIO 254) is a biological clock, or in other words a rhythm generator in an organism.
