Facts about Synembryn-A.
Involved in regulation of microtubule pulling forces during mitotic motion of chromosomes by stimulating G(I)-alpha protein, potentially leading to release G(I)-alpha-GTP and NuMA proteins in the NuMA-GPSM2-G(I)-alpha-GDP complex (By similarity). Also serves as an activator for G(q)-alpha (GNAQ) protein by boosting the G(q)-coupled receptor-mediated ERK activation.
