Abstract excerpt
We have recently described a C825T polymorphism in the gene encoding for the Gbeta3 subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins. The 825T allele is associated with a novel splice variant (Gbeta3-s) and enhanced signal transduction via pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G proteins. fMLP-induced chemotaxis, but not O2- generation, was increased in neutrophils with the TC/TT (EC50 = 1.5 +/- 1.3 nM) genotypes compared to the...
