Abstract excerpt
Gs is the ubiquitously expressed heterotrimeric G protein that couples receptors to the effector enzyme adenylyl cyclase and is required for receptor-stimulated intracellular cAMP generation. Activated receptors promote the exchange of GTP for GDP on the Gs alpha-subunit (Gs(alpha)), resulting in Gs activation; an intrinsic GTPase activity of Gs(alpha) deactivates Gs by hydrolyzing bound GTP to GDP. Mutations of...
