Secondary Information

Protein Function The alpha subunits of the stimulatory and inhibitory G proteins, Gs alpha and Gi alpha, activate transmembrane-signaling systems involved in the control of cell proliferation. 
Biochemical Properties A much higher degree of amino acid sequence homology is observed between the alpha-subunits of Gi and transducin (68%) than between those of Gi and the adenylate cyclase-stimulating G-protein (Gs) (43%) or between those of transducin and Gs (42%).
PTMs Myristoylation at Gly-2,Palmitoylation at Cys-3

Additional Comments The constitutive expression of Gi alpha-1 in autonomous adenoma may allow for the unregulated stimulation of thyroid cell proliferation.
