Genetic variation in hormone-sensitive cyclic AMP production was investigated among inbred strains of mice. Significant strain differences were observed in β-adrenergic- and glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. Comparable differences were also found in membrane methyl-transferase I activity in these strains. Our results of studies using F1 progeny of high and low strains suggest a dominance of high MT I activity over low MT I activity. Investigation of recombinant inbred lines between the high and low strains indicates that MT I activity is regulated by at least two major genes; H-2-congenic lines of several inbred strains were then used to identify an association between hormone-stimulated MT I activity and the mouse major histocompatibility complex.
