Gene: GNAI3
Alternate names for this Gene: 87U6|ARCND1
Gene Summary: Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling pathways. G proteins are composed of 3 units: alpha, beta and gamma. This gene encodes an alpha subunit and belongs to the G-alpha family. Mutation in this gene, resulting in a gly40-to-arg substitution, is associated with auriculocondylar syndrome, and shown to affect downstream targets in the G protein-coupled endothelin receptor pathway.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p13.3
Description of this Gene: G protein subunit alpha i3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
