Target Details for GNAQ

Target: GNAQ (Guanine Nucleotide Binding Protein (G Protein), Q Polypeptide (GNAQ))

Alternative Name: Galpha q (GNAQ Products)

Background: The GTP binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) consist of three subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma. These heterotrimeric proteins function at membranes to relay signals from cell surface receptors to intracellular effectors. The alpha subunit is unique for each G protein and contains the site of GTP binding and hydrolysis, as well sites for receptor and effector interactions. The betagamma subunit complex interacts directly with receptors and the alpha subunit. The Galpha family includes four families: the Galphas family including Galphas , Galphao1f, and Galphat, the Galphai family including Galphai, Galphao, and Galphaz, the Galphaq/Galpha11 family and the Galpha12/13 family. The Galphaq protein is 88% homologus with Galpha11 and both are widely expressed. These G proteins activate phospholipase C proteins, which induce calcium signaling events. G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) involved in regulating Wnt signaling activate Galphaq, phospholipase Cbeta, and induce calcium-dependent activation of calpain. These events promote beta-catenin nuclear export and proteolysis. Galphaq has also been implicated in metabotropic glutamate receptor signaling. Thus, Galphaq isoforms activate phospholipase C proteins in various G-protein coupled receptor pathways.
