Description
Product Characteristics: CMC1, G alpha Q, G protein alpha Q, GAQ, guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), q polypeptide, Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(q) subunit alpha, SWS,Guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha-q / GNAQ / G-ALPHA-q
Cellular localisation: Cytoplasmic and Cell Surface
Target Information: This locus encodes a guanine nucleotide-binding protein. The encoded protein, an alpha subunit in the Gq class, couples a seven-transmembrane domain receptor to activation of phospolipase C-beta. Mutations at this locus have been associated with problems in platelet activation and aggregation. A related pseudogene exists on chromosome 2.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
