    basic FUNCTION
  • mediating pertussis toxin-resistant stimulation of phospholipase C beta
  • involved as modulators or transducers in various
  • transmembrane signaling systems
  • involved in signaling of gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor, which negatively regulates cell growth
  • acting as an activator of phospholipase C
  • endothelial GNAQ/GNA11-mediated signaling as a critical mediator of fatal systemic anaphylaxis
  • GNAQ and GNA11 contribute to the maintenance of cellular electrophysiology and Ca2+ handling in ventricular cardiomyocytes
  • contribute to T lymphocyte migration by promoting turnover of integrin ITGAL through recycling
  • GNA11 and GNA14 induce changes in cellular morphology and growth-factor independence via MAPK activation

    protein
  • guanine nucleotide binding
  • KISS1R regulates ERK1/2 activity and hypothalamic gene expression in a GNAQ/GNA11 and ARRB-dependent manner
  • ADRBK1 selectively interacts with GNAQ/GNA11 family that are released during G protein-coupled receptor activation
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Phosphorylated by PRKC and CAMK1 contributing to agonist-induced homologous desensitization of HTR2A signaling as well as heterologous desensitization
