GNB5 G protein subunit beta 5

Gene ID: 10681, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GB5; HG2E; IDDCA; LADCI; LDMLS1; LDMLS2; gbeta5

Summary

Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), which integrate signals between receptors and effector proteins, are composed of an alpha, a beta, and a gamma subunit. These subunits are encoded by families of related genes. This gene encodes a beta subunit. Beta subunits are important regulators of alpha subunits, as well as of certain signal transduction receptors and effectors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms exist. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
