Gna12 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables D5 dopamine receptor binding activity. Involved in response to xenobiotic stimulus. Acts upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell migration; and negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation. Located in brush border membrane. Orthologous to human GNA12 (G protein subunit alpha 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 rat Gna12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
