title: The inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory subunit of adenylate cyclase has an adenylate cyclase-independent modulatory effect on ACTH secretion from mouse pituitary tumor cells.
abstract: Somatostatin inhibits agonist-stimulated cAMP synthesis and ACTH secretion from mouse pituitary tumor cells. It also decreases basal hormone release without affecting cAMP levels and inhibits ACTH secretion in response to agonists whose action is independent of prior cAMP synthesis. These inhibitory effects are attenuated by pertussis toxin, suggesting that the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory subunit of adenylate cyclase modulates effectors, other than adenylate cyclase, during transduction of negative hormonal signals.
