Predicted to enable several functions, including G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity; GDP binding activity; and GTPase activating protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of metabolic process; and positive regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in early conceptus; inner ear; and oocyte. Orthologous to human GNAI3 (G protein subunit alpha i3).
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal basal cardiac function and beta-adrenergic sensitivity. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit enhanced T cell migration toward CXCR3 agonists. [provided by MGI curators]
