GNAZ cDNA Clone
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a G protein subfamily that mediates signal transduction in pertussis toxin-insensitive systms. This encoded protein may play a role in maintaining the ionic balance of perilymphatic and endolymphatic cochlear fluids. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
G-alpha(z): Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. G proteins are composed of 3 units; alpha, beta and gamma. The alpha chain contains the guanine nucleotide binding site. Belongs to the G-alpha family. G(i/o/t/z) subfamily.
Protein type: Nuclear envelope; G protein, heterotrimeric alpha G((i/o/t/z)); G protein, heterotrimeric; Endoplasmic reticulum
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 22q11.22
Cellular Component: endoplasmic reticulum; heterotrimeric G-protein complex; nuclear envelope; plasma membrane
Molecular Function: G-protein beta/gamma-subunit binding; GTP binding; GTPase activity; metabotropic serotonin receptor binding; receptor signaling protein activity
Biological Process: G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; G-protein signaling, coupled to cAMP nucleotide second messenger; protein folding
