  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 A family of αβγ-trimeric G proteins carries a variety of extracellular signals (neurotransmitters, and growth factors) from membrane-bound receptors to effectors such as enzymes and ion channels. G protein as the signal transducers have the following unique properties.

 1. Amplification of signals

 Function of G proteins is regulated cyclically by, a) dissociation of bound GDP from α-subunits, b) association of GTP with α-subunits, and c) hydrolysis of GTP to GDP and Pi. The agonist-recep tor complex stimulates formation of GTP-G, which in turn activates the appropriate effectors; the activation persists until G hydrolyzes the bonnd GTP. There is a period longer than the duration of the agonist-receptor complex in the active form of GTP-G due to a low rate of GTPase activity.
