Gi-Go GTP-Binding Protein alpha Subunits (Gi alpha Subunit)

A family of heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein alpha subunits that were originally identified by their ability to inhibit ADENYLYL CYCLASES. Members of this family can couple to beta and gamma G-protein subunits that activate POTASSIUM CHANNELS. The Gi-Go part of the name is also spelled Gi/Go.

02/13/1989 - "Elevated levels of the guanine nucleotide binding protein, Go, are associated with differentiation of neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells."
01/01/2017 - "Treatment of human neuroblastoma cells with recombinant α-Syn caused S1P type 1 (S1P1) receptor-selective uncoupling from inhibitory G-protein (Gi) as determined by both functional and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based structural analyses. "
02/01/1992 - "We have previously identified two isoforms of Go alpha in membranes of N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells, using an antibody raised against the purified Go alpha subunit; one isoform of the Go alpha subunit (pI 5.80) is present in undifferentiated cells, whereas a more acidic isoform (pI 5.55) appears during differentiation [J. "
03/01/1993 - "Continuous elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) by culturing neuroblastoma x glioma NG108-15 hybrid cells in the presence of forskolin and isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) in a chemically defined medium resulted in differentiation of the hybrid cells, as indicated by extension of neurite-like structures and induction of a subclass of G-protein, Go, as monitored by Western analysis. "
11/01/1987 - "We have found that neuroendocrine tumors (including neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, gut carcinoid, pheochromocytoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma, insulinoma, glucagonoma, prolactinoma, carotid body tumor, and small cell lung carcinoma) produce considerable amounts (about 1000-80,000 ng/g tissue) of the alpha subunit of guanine nucleotide-binding protein, GO (GO alpha), whereas nonneuroendocrine tumors contain less than 300 ng of GO alpha/g tissue.
