Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit beta-5

UniProtKB accession:  P62881

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Enhances GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity of regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins, such as RGS7 and RGS9, hence involved in the termination of the signaling initiated by the G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) by accelerating the GTP hydrolysis on the G-alpha subunits, thereby promoting their inactivation (By similarity). Increases RGS7 GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity, thereby regulating mood and cognition (By similarity). Increases RGS9 GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity, hence contributes to the deactivation of G protein signaling initiated by D(2) dopamine receptors (By similarity). May play an important role in neuronal signaling, including in the parasympathetic, but not sympathetic, control of heart rate (By similarity).
