|
| Function |
Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. Binds selectively to G(z)-alpha and G(alpha)-i2 subunits, accelerates their GTPase activity and regulates their signaling activities. The G(z)-alpha activity is inhibited by the phosphorylation and palmitoylation of the G- protein. Negatively regulates mu-opioid receptor-mediated activation of the G-proteins (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane; Lipid-anchor. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Shuttles between the cytoplasm/cell membrane and the nucleus. Anchored to the membrane through palmitoylation. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Isoform 5 is expressed in brain at high levels in the caudate nucleus and temporal lobe.
