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}.
