Function | Plays an important role in mitotic spindle pole organization via its interaction with NUMA1 (PubMed:11781568, PubMed:15632202, PubMed:21816348). Required for cortical dynein-dynactin complex recruitment during metaphase (PubMed:22327364). Plays a role in metaphase spindle orientation (PubMed:22327364). Also plays an important role in asymmetric cell divisions (PubMed:21816348). Has guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) activity towards G(i) alpha proteins, such as GNAI1 and GNAI3, and thereby regulates their activity (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Lateral cell membrane. Note=Localizes in the cytoplasm during interphase and at cell cortex during metaphase (PubMed:11781568, PubMed:15632202, PubMed:22074847). Colocalizes with NUMA1 to mitotic spindle poles (PubMed:11781568, PubMed:21816348). Localized at the central and lateral cell cortex regions in a RanGTP-dependent manner (PubMed:22327364). In horizontally retinal progenitor dividing cells, localized to the lateral cortical region. In vertically retinal progenitor dividing cells, localized at the polar cortical region (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VDU0, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11781568, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15632202, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21816348, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22074847, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22327364} |

Background
Heterotrimeric G proteins transduce extracellular signals received by cell surface receptors into integrated cellular responses. GPSM2 belongs to a group of proteins that modulate activation of G proteins (Blumer et al., 2002 [PubMed 11832491]).
