Description:
GsαL is the long splice variant of the α-subunit of stimulatory heterotrimeric Gs-proteins. It differs from the short splice variant (GsaS) by 15-amino acid insert between the Ras-like domain and the α-helical domain. GsαL activates adenylate cyclase (AC) and possesses a lower GDP-affinity than GsαS (cat.# PR-505). These differences in GDP-affinity have important consequences for receptor/G-protein coupling and AC activation. The exchange of Gln227 to Leu227 inhibits the intrinsic GTPase activity, resulting in a contitutively active Gα, and increases GDP-affinity of Gα.
