OverviewNCBI Gene

Guanine nucleotide binding proteins are heterotrimeric signal-transducing molecules consisting of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. The alpha subunit binds guanine nucleotide, can hydrolyze GTP, and can interact with other proteins. The protein encoded by this gene represents the alpha subunit of an inhibitory complex. The encoded protein is part of a complex that responds to beta-adrenergic signals by inhibiting adenylate cyclase. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GNAI1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads GNAI1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GNAI1 could matter depends on whether native GNAI1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GNAI1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GNAI1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label GNAI1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
