Gng5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable G-protein beta-subunit binding activity and PDZ domain binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation and positive regulation of secondary heart field cardioblast proliferation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; oocyte; and retina. Orthologous to several human genes including GNG5 (G protein subunit gamma 5).

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 Gng5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
