Differentiation of cultured brown adipocytes is associated with a selective increase in the short variant of g(s)alpha protein. Evidence for higher functional activity of g(s)alphaS.

Abstract

Our present work analysed the changes in G protein-mediated signalling induced by differentiatiation of cultured brown adipocytes and revealed a selective increase in Gs(a)S protein along with an increase in beta-adrenergic responsiveness.
