  28. Organization at the Cellular Level G-proteins Heterotrimeric G proteins have three subunits: α, β, and γ.

The β and γ subunits dissociate from the α subunit, and a cellular response is triggered either by the α subunit or the dissociated β pair. Hydrolysis of GTP to GDP terminates the signal.
