Role of G(s)α in central regulation of energy and glucose metabolism.

Abstract excerpt

GNAS is a complex imprinted locus with multiple oppositely imprinted gene products, including the G protein α-subunit Gsα that is expressed primarily from the maternal allele in some tissues and the Gsα isoform XLαs that is expressed only from the paternal allele. Maternal Gsα mutations in mice and in patients with Albright hereditary osteodystrophy lead to obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia. Studies...
