Abstract excerpt
Alternative splicing of mouse beta3-adrenoceptor transcripts produces an additional receptor isoform (beta3b-adrenoceptor) with a C terminus comprising 17 amino acids distinct from the 13 in the known receptor (beta3a-adrenoceptor). We have shown that the beta3b-adrenoceptor couples to both Gs and Gi, whereas the beta3a-adrenoceptor couples only to Gs. To define the regions involved in this differential G protein...
