geneOn this page
Summary
GNB2 (G protein subunit beta 2, HGNC:4398) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7q22.1, encoding Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(I)/G(S)/G(T) subunit beta-2 (P62879). Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as a modulator or transducer in various transmembrane signaling systems.
Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), which integrate signals between receptors and effector proteins, are composed of an alpha, a beta, and a gamma subunit. These subunits are encoded by families of related genes. This gene encodes a beta subunit. Beta subunits are important regulators of alpha subunits, as well as of certain signal transduction receptors and effectors. This gene contains a trinucleotide (CCG) repeat length polymorphism in its 5’ UTR.

Function. Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as a modulator or transducer in various transmembrane signaling systems. The beta and gamma chains are required for the GTPase activity, for replacement of GDP by GTP, and for G protein-effector interaction.
Subunit / interactions. G proteins are composed of 3 units, alpha, beta and gamma. In this context, interacts with GNAI2 and GNG2. Interacts with ARHGEF18 and RASD2. Interacts with ATXN10. Interacts with SCN8A.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Perinuclear region. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in all cardiac subcompartments and in the brain, with highest levels in the atrioventricular node and brain.
Disease relevance. Neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia and dysmorphic facies (NEDHYDF) [MIM:619503] An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by global developmental delay, hypotonia, and variably impaired intellectual development, often with speech delay and delayed walking. Most patients have dysmorphic facial features. Clinical features are highly variable and may include congenital cardiac defects, non-specific renal anomalies, joint contractures or joint hyperextensibility, dry skin, and cryptorchidism. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Sick sinus syndrome 4 (SSS4) [MIM:619464] The term ‘sick sinus syndrome’ encompasses a variety of conditions caused by sinus node dysfunction. The most common clinical manifestations are syncope, presyncope, dizziness, and fatigue. Electrocardiogram typically shows sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, and/or sinoatrial block. Episodes of atrial tachycardias coexisting with sinus bradycardia (’tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome’) are also common in this disorder. SSS occurs most often in the elderly associated with underlying heart disease or previous cardiac surgery, but can also occur in the fetus, infant, or child without heart disease or other contributing factors. SSS4 is characterized by early and progressive sinus node and atrioventricular conduction dysfunction. Some affected individuals are asymptomatic. SSS4 inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the WD repeat G protein beta family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 211 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.
