    Summary
    Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity; G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity; and GTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; defense response to Gram-negative bacterium; and olfactory learning. Located in axon; neuronal cell body; and non-motile cilium. Is expressed in anal sphincter muscle; ganglia; and pharyngeal cell. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
