| UniProt code: O15492. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Regulates G protein-coupled receptor signaling cascades. Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP- bound form (PubMed:11602604, PubMed:18434541). Plays an important role in the phototransduction cascade by regulating the lifetime and effective concentration of activated transducin alpha. May regulate extra and intracellular mitogenic signals (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97428, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11602604, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18434541}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with GNAI1 and GNAQ (PubMed:18434541). Interacts with GNAI2, GNAI3 and GNAO1 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97428, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18434541}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97428}; Lipid- anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97428}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Abundantly expressed in retina with lower levels of expression in most other tissues. | |
| Ptm: | Palmitoylated on Cys-2 and/or Cys-12. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97428}. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation at Tyr-168 by EGFR enhances GTPase accelerating (GAP) activity toward GNAI1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11602604}. | |
