Changes in the relative abundance of the G protein α subunits were observed during early mouse development G sa was almost exclusively present as a large form (G s‐1 ) in prenatal brain. Postnatally with a substantial increase in Gpp[NH]p stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity, the small form (G ?? increased in amount while G s‐1 decreased. These results suggest that the G s‐1 may be the more effective cyclase activator and that changes in alternative splicing are developmentally regulated. G i1 and G o appeared before birth whereas Gi 2 , developed postnatally. Opiate stimulation of GTPase and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase were fully expressed prenatally.
