Abstract excerpt
Recent work indicates that multiple molecular forms of Gs alpha can be produced by alternative splicing of a primary Gs alpha transcript. This study examined the pattern of expression of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) encoding the large (Gs alpha-L) and small (Gs alpha-S) molecular forms of Gs alpha in several rat tissues, including brown adipose tissue. In all tissues examined, Gs alpha-L mRNA was most abundant. This...
