Abstract excerpt
We studied the G protein alpha-subunit Galpha12 in various tissues and cell lines. Significant amounts of Galpha12 were detected by immunoblots in liver, chromaffin cells, RINm5F cells, 3T3-F442A cells, and preadipocytes, but not in adipocytes, sperm, kidney, NB2A cells, or brain. To study the role of Galpha12 in adipose tissue differentiation, the preadipocyte cell line 3T3-F442A was transfected with wild-type...
