Gna11 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables alkylglycerophosphoethanolamine phosphodiesterase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; ligand-gated ion channel signaling pathway; and positive regulation of insulin secretion. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to pH; regulation of melanocyte differentiation; and skeletal system development. Part of heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Is active in presynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant hypocalcemia 2 and familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia 2. Orthologous to human GNA11 (G protein subunit alpha 11). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Gna11 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
