Guanine Nucleotide-Binding Protein
G Protein
LEARN MORE
- Pathway Narrative:
G proteins are bound by activated GLP-1R to become active, resulting in dissociation into two smaller subunits.
- Type:
- Protein
- Function/Job:
- Acts as a signal carrier along the membrane
- Interacts with:
- GLP1R, GTP, GDP
- Interesting Facts:
The G-protein is composed of three smaller subunits- alpha, beta and gamma. They bind to activated G protein-coupled receptors in order to propagate an external signal along the membrane.
