Abstract excerpt
The G protein alpha-subunit Gsalpha is required for hormone-stimulated cAMP generation. The Gsalpha gene Gnas is a complex gene with multiple imprinted gene products. Mice with heterozygous disruption of the Gnas paternal allele (+/p-) are partially Gsalpha deficient and totally deficient in XLalphas, a neuroendocrine-specific Gsalpha isoform that is expressed only from the paternal Gnas allele. We previously...
