Gnai1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables adenylate cyclase inhibitor activity. Involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and negative regulation of insulin secretion. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; forelimb; gut; nervous system; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human GNAI1 (G protein subunit alpha i1).

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 Gnai1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
