Abstract excerpt
The G-protein alpha-subunit G(s)alpha is required for the intracellular cAMP responses to hormones and other agonists. G(s)alpha is known to mediate the cAMP response to parathyroid hormone and other hormones and cytokines in bone and cartilage. To analyze the in vivo role of G(s)alpha signaling in osteoblasts, we developed mice with osteoblast/osteocyte-specific G(s)alpha deficiency (BGsKO) by mating...
