G proteins are so-called because they bind the guanine nucleotides GDP and GTP. They are heterotrimers (i.e., made of three different subunits) associated with

  • the inner surface of the plasma membrane and
  • transmembrane receptors of hormones, etc. These are called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
