Guanine Nucleotide Binding Protein Gamma 2
HG3F1
This gene encodes one of the gamma subunits of a guanine nucleotide-binding protein. Such proteins are involved in signaling mechanisms across membranes. Various subunits forms heterodimers which then interact with the different signal molecules. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
Forensic Context
A study in human brain samples using RNA-seq data and machine learning identified the GNG2 as a downregulated gene marker involved in the glutamatergic synapse pathway, GABA receptor activation, and morphine addiction, contributing to a classification model for Major Depressive Disorder and its suicidal subtype [Verma et al. DOI:10.007/s11571-021-09724-8].
