| UniProt functional annotation for P59768 | |||
| UniProt code: P59768. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as a modulator or transducer in various transmembrane signaling systems. The beta and gamma chains are required for the GTPase activity, for replacement of GDP by GTP, and for G protein-effector interaction (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subunit: | G proteins are composed of 3 units, alpha, beta and gamma (By similarity). The heterodimer formed by GNB1 and GNG2 interacts with ARHGEF5 (PubMed:19713215). The heterodimer formed by GNB1 and GNG2 interacts with GRK2 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P63212, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19713215}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000305}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed in fetal tissues, including testis, adrenal gland, brain, white blood cells and brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10833460}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the G protein gamma family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
