Abstract excerpt

Gs(alpha) is a subunit of the heterotrimeric G-protein complex, expressed ubiquitously in all types of cells, including neurons. Drosophila larvae, which have mutations in the Gs(alpha) gene, are lethargic, suggesting an impairment of neuronal functions. In this study, we examined synaptic transm...
