{"symbol":"GNAL","synonyms":["DYT25"],"name":"guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), alpha activating activity polypeptide, olfactory type","description":"This gene encodes a stimulatory G protein alpha subunit which mediates odorant signaling in the olfactory epithelium. This protein couples dopamine type 1 receptors and adenosine A2A receptors and is widely expressed in the central nervous system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dystonia 25 and this gene is located in a susceptibility region for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
