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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
Tissue Specificity | Predominantly expressed in the cerebellum. Also expressed in the cortex and medulla. Weakly expressed in a number of peripheral tissues notably spleen, lung and leukocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15096504}. |
