G proteins are intracellular GTPases that act as molecular switches in signaling pathways. They bind GTP to induce their active conformation, which is lost when GTP is hydrolyzed to GDP.
Las proteínas G son GTPasas intracelulares que actúan como interruptores moleculares en las vías de señalización. Se unen a GTP para inducir su conformación activa, que se pierde cuando el GTP se hidroliza a GDP.
