Function

Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. Binds selectively to G(z)-alpha and G(alpha)-i2 subunits, accelerates their GTPase activity and regulates their signaling activities. The G(z)-alpha activity is inhibited by the phosphorylation and palmitoylation of the G- protein. Negatively regulates mu-opioid receptor-mediated activation of the G-proteins. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15827571, ECO:0000269PubMed:16900103}.

Subcellular Localization

Membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:16900103}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000269PubMed:16900103}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269PubMed:16900103}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269PubMed:16900103}. Note=Shuttles between the cytoplasm/cell membrane and the nucleus. Anchored to the membrane through palmitoylation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in the hypothalamus, periaqueductal gray matter, and pons-medulla. Lower levels in the thalamus, cortex and spinal cord. Weak expression in the striatum and cerebellum. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15827571}.
