Gng3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable G-protein beta-subunit binding activity and GTPase activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Located in cell body; dendrite; and postsynaptic density. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; nervous system; oocyte; renal vasculature; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GNG3 (G protein subunit gamma 3).

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 Gng3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
