GPA1 (G PROTEIN ALPHA-1) is involved as a modulator or transducer in various transmembrane signaling systems. Together with GCR1, may regulate the cell cycle via a signaling cascade Promotes abscisic acid (ABA) responses in guard cells. But, together with GCR1 and GB1, acts as a negative regulator of ABA during seed germination and early seedling development. Involved in the blue light (BL) signaling. Alternative name: GP-alpha-1.
