gpa-12

Gene
gpa-12
Protein
Guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha-12 subunit
Organism
Caenorhabditis briggsae
Length
355 amino acids
Function
Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. May play a role in resistance to fungal infection in the epidermis by regulating the up-regulation of several antimicrobial peptides of the NLP and CNC families. Upstream of plc-3, egl-8, tpa-1 and the p38-like pathway, required for the expression of antimicrobial peptide nlp-29 in the epidermis in response to fungal infection or physical injury.
Similarity
Belongs to the G-alpha family.
