Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit alpha-12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GNA12 gene.^[5][6][7]

Interactions and functions

The GNA12 gene encodes the G₁₂ G protein alpha subunit. Together with GNA13, these two proteins comprise one of the four classes of heterotrimeric G protein alpha subunits.^[8] Heterotrimeric G proteins function in transducing hormone and neurotransmitter signals detected by cell surface G protein-coupled receptors to intracellular signaling pathways to modulate cell functions. G protein alpha subunits bind to guanine nucleotides and function in a regulatory cycle, and are active when bound to GTP but inactive and associated with the G beta-gamma complex when bound to GDP.^[9][10]

Active GTP-bound G₁₂ alpha subunit interacts with and activates ARHGEF1,^[11] ARHGEF11,^[12][13] and ARHGEF12.^[14][15] These ARHGEF proteins function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors for the Rho small GTPases to regulate the actin cytoskeleton.^[16]

GNA12 also interacts with PPP5C,^[17] HSP90,^[18] Resistance to inhibitors of cholinesterase-8A (Ric-8A)^[19] and TEC.^[15]
