Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Constitutively activating mutations of the thyrotrophin receptor (TSHR) are the main molecular cause of hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules (HTNs). The G protein coupling is an important and critical step in the TSHR signalling which mainly includes G(alpha)(s), G(alpha)(i) and G(alpha)(q)/11 proteins. DESIGN: We investigated the in vitro consequences of overexpressing G(alpha) proteins on signalling of...
