LEARN MORE
Pathway Narrative:

The G-alpha subunit of the G protein dissociates from the beta and gamma subunits, which remain bound to GLP1-R.

Type:
Protein
Function/Job:
Transmits the signal from G protein-coupled receptors to other proteins
Interacts with:
GDP, GTP, AC
Interesting Facts:

G-alpha dissociates from the beta-gamma dimer as a result of structural change in the GPCR and subsequent replacement of GDP with GTP
