Recombinant Human Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G (I)/G (S)/G (T) subunit beta-2 (GNB2)

Uniprot Id

P62879

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GNB2

Target Full Name

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(I)/G(S)/G(T) subunit beta-2

Target Function

Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as a modulator or transducer in various transmembrane signaling systems. The beta and gamma chains are required for the GTPase activity, for replacement of GDP by GTP, and for G protein-effector interaction.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, perinuclear region.

Target Protein Families

WD repeat G protein beta family

Target Background

Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), which integrate signals between receptors and effector proteins, are composed of an alpha, a beta, and a gamma subunit. These subunits are encoded by families of related genes. This gene encodes a beta subunit. Beta subunits are important regulators of alpha subunits, as well as of certain signal transduction receptors and effectors. This gene contains a trinucleotide (CCG) repeat length polymorphism in its 5' UTR.
