Question

Which of the outcomes could potentially result if a mutation in the gene encoding the gα subunit eliminates its gtpase activity? choose three outcomes.

Answer 1

The three outcomes that could potentially result if a mutation in the gene encoding the Gα subunit eliminates its gtpase activity are :

1) The signaling pathway could be activated for an extended period, possibly resulting in undesirable cell proliferation.

2) Gα would be activated for an extended period.

3) The concentration of cAMP in the cell would be continuously elevated.
