Gng2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable G-protein beta-subunit binding activity and GTPase activity. Acts upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and fibroblast proliferation. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in early conceptus; genitourinary system; intestine; nervous system; and neural retina. Orthologous to human GNG2 (G protein subunit gamma 2).

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 Gng2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
