UniProt functional annotation for P97428

UniProt code: P97428.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: Regulates G protein-coupled receptor signaling cascades (PubMed:9079700). Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form (PubMed:10373502). Plays an important role in the phototransduction cascade by regulating the lifetime and effective concentration of activated transducin alpha (PubMed:8917514). May regulate extra and intracellular mitogenic signals. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10373502, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8917514, ECO:0000305}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with GNAI1 and GNAQ (By similarity). Interacts with GNAI3, GNAI3 and GNAO1 (PubMed:9079700, PubMed:18434540). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O15492, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18434540, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9079700}.
Subcellular location: Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10373502}; Lipid- anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10373502}.
Tissue specificity: Retinal; also predominantly expressed in the liver and pituitary.
Ptm: Palmitoylated on Cys-2 and/or Cys-12. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10373502}.
Ptm: Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation at Tyr-167 by EGFR enhances GTPase accelerating (GAP) activity toward GNAI1. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O15492}.
