  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010945",
  "term": "Small G protein",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A family of monomeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that act as molecular switches in intracellular signaling pathways. These proteins cycle between an active GTP-bound state and an inactive GDP-bound state, regulating processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and cytoskeletal organization. Ras proteins are a well-known example within this family.",
