Abstract excerpt
G-proteins are composed of alpha, beta and gamma subunits. Once activated, these subunits play a major role in the conversion of external receptor activation into intracellular signals. The functional C825T polymorphism of the beta3 subunit gene (GNB3) has recently been shown to modulate antidepressant response, with the T-allele conferring an increased signaling and being associated with favorable antidepressant...
