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
