Gαi (source code)

= Gαi
{c}

A Gα family member that can inhibit <adenylyl cyclase>.

The GDP/GTP cycle changes its interaction with <receptors>, beta-gamma subunits and effectors. Inhibition of <adenylyl cyclase> is a common family property, while the resulting cellular response also depends on other targets and local <cyclic AMP> breakdown. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapters 3, 6 and 15, protein function, translation and cell signalling]{ref}
