Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of the G protein subunit G alpha i2 that is known to mediate the inhibitory control of adenylylcyclase impairs insulin action [11]. Using the promoter for the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene, conditional tissue-specific expression of the constitutively active mutant form (Q205L) of G alpha i2 was achieved in mice harboring the transgene. Expression of Q205L G alpha i2 was detected in liver and...
