NCBI Protein Information
GPCR-type G protein 2
NCBI Summary
Encodes a GPCR-type G protein receptor with nine predicted transmembrane domains. The protein binds abscisic acid (ABA) and is predicted to function as an ABA receptor. It has GTP-binding and GTPase activity and binds to ABA more effectively in the presence of GDP. GTG2 binds to GPA1, the alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein. GPA1 (in its GTP-bound state) affects the GTP binding and GTPase activity of GTG2 and may act to down-regulate GTG2 binding to ABA. GTG2 is widely expressed throughout the plant and appears to be involved in the regulation of several ABA-dependent responses including seed germination, plant development, and promotion of stomatal closure. GTG2 transcript levels do not appear to change in response to ABA or abiotic stresses.

UniProt Comments
Abscisic acid receptor. The GDP-bound form exhibits greater abscisic acid binding than the GTP-bound form (PubMed:19135895). Required for seedling growth and fertility (PubMed:23001037).
