UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q9JID2 (Q9JID2)
Gene Name:
Gna11
Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Function: Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) function as transducers downstream of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in numerous signaling cascades. The alpha chain contains the guanine nucleotide binding site and alternates between an active, GTP-bound state and an inactive, GDP-bound state. Signaling by an activated GPCR promotes GDP release and GTP binding. The alpha subunit has a low GTPase activity that converts bound GTP to GDP, thereby terminating the signal. Both GDP release and GTP hydrolysis are modulated by numerous regulatory proteins. Signaling is mediated via phospholipase C-beta-dependent inositol lipid hydrolysis for signal propagation: activates phospholipase C-beta: following GPCR activation, GNA11 activates PLC-beta (PLCB1, PLCB2, PLCB3 or PLCB4), leading to production of diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Transduces FFAR4 signaling in response to long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) (By similarity). Together with GNAQ, required for heart development (By similarity). In the respiratory epithelium, transmits OXGR1-dependent signals that lead to downstream intracellular Ca(2+) release and mucocilliary clearance of airborne pathogens
