Gene: GNAQ

Alternate names for this Gene: CMC1|G-ALPHA-q|GAQ|SWS

Gene Summary: This 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9
