Background
Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. G proteins are composed of 3 units, alpha, beta and gamma. The alpha chain contains the guanine nucleotide binding site. G protein z alpha, encoded by the GNAZ gene, is enriched in neural tissue and differs in sequence from other G alpha subunits. Alpha Subunits are encoded in 15 genes and several transcripts are alternatively spliced. Receptors may discriminate between splice variants, whether splice variants are functionally different in regulating effectors is not known. All alpha subunits appear to be palmitoylated near the N-terminus.Synonyms: G(x) alpha chain, GNAZ, Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(z) subunit alpha, Gz-alpha
