G protein multiplicity in eukaryotic signal transduction systems

G proteins comprise a specific family of guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins that serve as intermediaries in a variety of transmembrane signaling processes in eukaryotic cells. They are located on the cytoplasmic surface of membranes, where they physically couple ligand-bound receptors to...

Zusammenfassung:G proteins comprise a specific family of guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins that serve as intermediaries in a variety of transmembrane signaling processes in eukaryotic cells. They are located on the cytoplasmic surface of membranes, where they physically couple ligand-bound receptors to the regulation of effector proteins which produce changes in intracellular metabolism.
