Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations of the TSH receptor and alpha-subunit of Gs (G alpha s) that increase adenylyl cyclase activity have been identified in a subset of hyperfunctioning benign thyroid follicular adenomas and, less commonly, in hypofunctioning adenomas and carcinomas. In addition some thyroid tumors exhibit inappropriate activation of phospholipase C (PLC), a signaling pathway that has been implicated in the...
