Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity; GTPase activator activity; and alkylglycerophosphoethanolamine phosphodiesterase activity. Involved in several processes, including cranial skeletal system development; endothelin receptor signaling pathway; and multicellular organism aging. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; maternal behavior; and neuron development. Located in cell body; dendrite; and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gonad; heart; intestine smooth muscle circular layer; and retina. Used to study congestive heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sturge-Weber syndrome; congestive heart failure; and familial multiple nevi flammei. Orthologous to human GNAQ (G protein subunit alpha q). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
