Gene information for GNAQ (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2776
Official gene symbolGNAQ
Full nameguanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), q polypeptide
Aliases,G-ALPHA-q,GAQ,
Gene summaryThis locus encodes a guanine nucleotide-binding protein. The encoded protein, an alpha subunit in the Gq class, couples a seven-transmembrane domain receptor to activation of phospolipase C-beta. Mutations at this locus have been associated with problems in platelet activation and aggregation. A related pseudogene exists on chromosome 2.
