GNAQ
The GNAQ gene provides instructions for making a protein called guanine nucleotide - binding protein subunit alpha - q. This protein is involved in transmitting signals from outside the cell to the cell's interior. It plays a role in various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and the regulation of gene expression. Mutations in the GNAQ gene have been associated with certain diseases and conditions, such as uveal melanoma and Sturge - Weber syndrome.
