Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: With isolated exceptions the only oncogene significantly associated with pituitary tumours is a constitutively active Gs protein (G alpha s). The recent cloning of the cDNA of human G alpha q has facilitated the study of this activator of the phospholipase C beta/Ca2+/ protein kinase C pathway. Since, with isolated exceptions, non-functional tumours are responsive in vitro to TRH and GnRH which...
