Protein
G protein alpha q subunit
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. Could be the transducin analog, an amplifier and one of the transducers of a visual impulse that performs the coupling between opsin and cGMP-phosphodiesterase. Could mediate a subset of olfactory and gustatory responses.
Similarity
Belongs to the G-alpha family. G(q) subfamily.
