General annotation

Function Acts as a regulator of G protein signaling (RGS). Modulates G protein alpha subunits nucleotide exchange and hydrolysis activities by functioning either as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP), thereby driving G protein alpha subunits into their inactive GDP-bound form, or as a GDP-dissociation inhibitor (GDI). Confers GDI and GAP activities on G(i) alpha subunits G-ialpha65A. Confers GAP activity on G(o) alpha subunit GNAI0 and G(i) alpha subunits. Involved in the dorsal-ventral axis formation of the egg. Acts as a G-protein signaling for glial cell differentiation during embryogenesis; G-ialpha65A, G-oalpha47A and the G-protein coupled receptor, moody, are required in the surface glia to achieve effective insulation of the nerve cord. May be essential for nurse cell dumping during oogenesis. Required in neuroblast asymmetrical cell division. Plays a role in stress resistance and life span control.
Subcellular location Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane. Note=Recruited from the cytosol to the plasma membrane by the G(i) alpha subunit. Colocalizes with moody at the plasma membrane. Localizes as a crescent to the apical cortex in interphase and forms an apical crescent and segregates into the apical daughter cell at telophase. Colocalizes with G-ialpha65A and raps/pins at the apical cortex throughout mitosis.
