• G-beta & G-gamma chains are required for
  • GTPase activity of heterotrimeric G proteins
  • replacement of GDP by GTP
  • G protein-effector interaction

Structure

belongs to the G protein gamma family

Compartment

• cell membrane; lipid-anchor; cytoplasmic side (putative)

Expression

retinal cones

More general terms
