gpc-2 encodes one of two C. elegans heterotrimeric G protein gamma subunits; gpc-2 is required, along with its partner GPB-1, a G protein beta subunit, for proper mitotic spindle positioning and orientation during early embryonic cell divisions; to date, GPC-2 expression has been reported in electrically excitable cells (all neurons and muscles).
Predicted to enable G-protein beta-subunit binding activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be part of heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Expressed in muscle cell and neurons. Is an ortholog of human GNG13 (G protein subunit gamma 13).

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
