Abstract excerpt
Mutant isolates [designated desensitization resistant (DR)] from the Y1 mouse adrenocortical tumor cell line resist agonist-induced desensitization of adenylyl cyclase by preventing the uncoupling of receptors from their guanyl nucleotide-binding regulatory G proteins. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that an underlying G protein defect is associated with the DR phenotype. We found that the G protein...
