Gnal Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables G protein activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activation of adenylate cyclase activity; adenylate cyclase-activating dopamine receptor signaling pathway; and response to caffeine. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in nervous system; sensory organ; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dystonia 25. Orthologous to human GNAL (G protein subunit alpha L). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Gnal often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
