Function Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. The G(s) protein is involved in hormonal regulation of adenylate cyclase: it activates the cyclase in response to beta-adrenergic stimuli. Stimulates the Ras signaling pathway via RAPGEF2 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle {ECO:0000250}. Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Note=Neuroendocrine secretory granules. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue Specificity Isoform Gnas-3 is abundant in brain with intermediate levels in skeletal muscle and very low levels in other tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8486667}.
