Abstract excerpt
In human normal thyrocytes, the cAMP-responsive signaling pathway plays a central role in gene regulation, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Constitutive activation of the cAMP signal transduction system has been documented in thyroid autonomously hyperfunctioning adenomas in which activating mutations in either the TSH receptor gene or the Gsalpha protein gene (gsp oncogene) have been described. The...
