G protein mutations in human disease.

Abstract excerpt

The heterotrimeric G proteins couple cell-surface receptors for extracellular signals to intracellular effectors that generate second messengers. Abnormal G protein signalling, resulting from posttranslational modifications by bacterial toxins, altered gene expression, or gene mutations, may lead to diverse biological consequences. Mutations within G protein alpha subunit genes that lead to either constitutive...
