Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations of G proteins, which are membrane signal transducers, have been associated recently with the development of various endocrine neoplasms. Mutations of two highly conserved codons, Arg201 and Gln227, in the alpha-subunit of the Gs protein, the adenylyl cyclase-stimulating protein, were first described in growth hormone-producing pituitary tumours. They resulted in constitutive activation of the...
