| Function | Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. |
| Subcellular Location | Membrane; Lipid-anchor. Melanosome. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. Detected in the cytoplasm of Leydig cells and in the seminiferous epithelium, including differentiating cells from the spermatogonia to mature spermatozoa stages. In round spermatids, also present in the nuclei. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in testis, including in Leydig cells and in the seminiferous epithelium, in differentiating cells from the spermatogonia to mature spermatozoa stages and round spermatids (at protein level). Expressed in 99.2% of spermatozoa from healthy individuals, but only in 28.6% of macrocephalic spermatozoa from infertile patients (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18703424}. |
