Gene: GNB2

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q22.1

Description of this Gene: G protein subunit beta 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
