G protein mutations in endocrine diseases.

Abstract excerpt

This review summarizes the pathogenetic role of naturally occurring mutations of G protein genes in endocrine diseases. Although in vitro mutagenesis and transfection assays indicate that several G proteins have mitogenic potential, to date only two G proteins have been identified which harbor naturally occurring mutations, Gsalpha, the activator of adenylyl cyclase and Gi2alpha, which is involved in several...
