Nowadays, GNAQ is a topic that has gained great relevance in society. Over time, GNAQ has become a point of interest for a wide range of people, whether due to its impact on daily life, its historical relevance or its influence on various aspects of culture. In this article, we will explore different perspectives on GNAQ, from its origins to its role in the present, analyzing its importance and implications in today's society. Additionally, we will examine how GNAQ has evolved over time and how its understanding can contribute to the understanding of various aspects of our daily lives.
Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(q) subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GNAQgene.[5] Together with GNA11 (its paralogue), it functions as a Gq alpha subunit.[6]
Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins are a family of heterotrimeric proteins that couple cell surface, 7-transmembrane domain receptors to intracellular signaling pathways. Receptor activation catalyzes the exchange of GDP for GTP bound to the inactive G protein alpha subunit resulting in a conformational change and dissociation of the complex. The G protein alpha and beta-gamma subunits are capable of regulating various cellular effectors. Activation is terminated by a GTPase intrinsic to the G-alpha subunit. G-alpha-q is the alpha subunit of one of the heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins that mediates stimulation of phospholipase C-beta (MIM 600230).[7]
