The Alternative Stimulatory G Protein α-Subunit XLαs Is a Critical Regulator of Energy and Glucose Metabolism and Sympathetic Nerve Activity in Adult Mice
4 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
The complex imprinted Gnas locus encodes several gene products including G(s)alpha, the ubiquitously expressed G protein alpha-subunit required for receptor-stimulated cAMP generation, and the neuroendocrine-specific G(s)alpha isoform XLalphas. XLalphas is only expressed from the paternal allele, whereas G(s)alpha is biallelically expressed in most tissues. XLalphas knock-out mice (Gnasxl(m+/p-)) have poor...
