To compare: The G protein-Gs that acts in transducing signal from β-adrenergic receptors and G protein Ras
Introduction: G protein is named due to their binding activity with guanine
To explain: The properties shared by G proteins-Gs and Ras protein.
Introduction: The G proteins are made of three different subunits and are called heterotrimers which is associated with inner surface of plasma membrane and G protein-coupled receptors. It is named so due to their binding activity with guanine nucleotide such as GDP and GTP.
To explain: The difference between Gs protein and Ras protein.
Introduction: G protein consists of three subunits such as Gα, Gβ and Gγ. Gα carries a binding site for nucleotide. Gβ and Gγ are associated with inner surface of plasma membrane and G protein-coupled receptors. They are named as G protein due to their binding with guanine nucleotide such as GDP and GTP.
To determine: The functional difference between Gs and Gi.
Introduction: G protein is named due to their binding activity with guanine nucleotide such as GDP and GTP. They are made of three different subunits and are called heterotrimers which is associated with inner surface of plasma membrane and G protein-coupled receptors.
