Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit alpha-13 — Q14344 (reviewed: Q14344)
All UniProt accessions (1): Q14344
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. Activates effector molecule RhoA by binding and activating RhoGEFs (ARHGEF1/p115RhoGEF, ARHGEF11/PDZ-RhoGEF and ARHGEF12/LARG). GNA13-dependent Rho signaling subsequently regulates transcription factor AP-1 (activating protein-1). Promotes tumor cell invasion and metastasis by activating RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway. Inhibits CDH1-mediated cell adhesion in a process independent from Rho activation. In lymphoid follicles, transmits P2RY8- and S1PR2-dependent signals that lead to inhibition of germinal center (GC) B cell growth and migration outside the GC niche.
Subunit / interactions. G proteins are composed of 3 units; alpha, beta and gamma. The alpha chain contains the guanine nucleotide binding site. Interacts with UBXD5. Interacts with HAX1. Interacts (in GTP-bound form) with PPP5C (via TPR repeats); activates PPP5C phosphatase activity and translocates PPP5C to the cell membrane. Interacts with RGS22. Interacts (in GTP-bound form) with ARHGEF1. Interacts (in GTP-bound form) with ARHGEF11 (via RGS domain). Interacts (in GTP-bound form) with ARHGEF12 (via RGS domain). Interacts with CTNND1. Interacts with GASL2L2. Interacts with GPR35. Interacts with GPR174.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Melanosome. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in testis, including in Leydig cells and in the seminiferous epithelium, in differentiating cells from the spermatogonia to mature spermatozoa stages and round spermatids (at protein level). Expressed in 99.2% of spermatozoa from healthy individuals, but only in 28.6% of macrocephalic spermatozoa from infertile patients (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications. Palmitoylation is critical for proper membrane localization and signaling. Phosphorylation on Thr-203 by PKA destabilizes the heterotrimer of alpha, beta and gamma, and inhibits Rho activation.
Similarity. Belongs to the G-alpha family. G(12) subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 139 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
