G-proteins are signal transducers that help relay extracellular signals to the cell's interior, initiating a cascade of signaling events. They act as molecular switches, becoming activated and triggering downstream signaling pathways in response to ligand binding to G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This activation ultimately leads to various cellular responses.
