Gnb3 - guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), beta 3

Predicted to enable GTPase binding activity; signaling receptor complex adaptor activity; and spectrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell volume homeostasis; regulation of fat cell differentiation; and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Located in dendrite. Part of heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; ganglia; gut; liver; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple); congenital stationary night blindness 1H; familial hyperlipidemia; mental depression; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human GNB3 (G protein subunit beta 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
