Gngt1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable G-protein beta-subunit binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process and cellular response to hypoxia. Located in photoreceptor inner segment and photoreceptor outer segment. Part of heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Orthologous to human GNGT1 (G protein subunit gamma transducin 1).

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 Gngt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
