This is a very interesting study because the authors showed that low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6) has a critical role in the intracellular localization of the heterotrimeric stimulatory G protein and is thus required for receptor-activated cAMP generation.
cAMP is a second messenger utilized by many heterotrimeric...
