Function | Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. May play a role in leukemogenesis. Plays a role in negative feedback control pathway for adenylyl cyclase signaling. Binds EIF2B5 and blocks its activity, thereby inhibiting the translation of mRNA into protein. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11278586, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17901199, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19736320, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7643615}. |
