Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(z) subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GNAZ gene.[3][4]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a G protein subfamily that mediates signal transduction in pertussis toxin-insensitive systems. This encoded protein may play a role in maintaining the ionic balance of perilymphatic and endolymphatic cochlear fluids.[4]

Interactions

GNAZ has been shown to interact with EYA2,[5] RGS20[6][7] and RGS19.[5][8]
