Abstract excerpt
Targeted disruption of the RIIbeta subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) produces lean mice that resist diet-induced obesity. In this report we examine the effects of the RIIbeta knockout on white adipose tissue physiology. Loss of RIIbeta is compensated by an increase in the RIalpha isoform, generating an isoform switch from a type II to a type I PKA. Type I holoenzyme binds cAMP more avidly and is more easily...
