The present work was aimed at assessing the GTP-binding (Galphas subunit) protein expression in lithium-treated bipolar patients (BP). Mononuclear leukocyte Galphas protein and mRNA were measured both in patients and in a comparison group. The patient group consisted of 15 lithium-treated patients w

This study examines G-olf, as a possible candidate gene for susceptibility to bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) using the Transmission Disequilibrium Test (TDT). G-olf,, which encodes a subunit of a G-protein involved in intracellular signaling, maps within a region of chromosome 18 that has been im
## Abstract Reports of elevated Gs α subunit (α~s~) immunolabeling and cAMP‐mediated hyper‐functionality in autopsied cerebral cortical brain regions from bipolar affective disorder (BD) patients suggest signal transduction abnormalities occur in this disorder. Because covalent modification of α~s~
In the liver, pancreastatin exerts a glycogenolytic effect through interaction with specific receptors, followed by activation of phospholipase C and guanylate cyclase. Pancreastatin receptor seems to be coupled to two different G protein systems: a pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein that mediate
