Target: RGS18 (Regulator of G-Protein Signalling 18 (RGS18))

Alternative Name: RGS18

Background:

Background Information: RGS18 is a member of the regulator of G-protein signaling family. This protein is contains a conserved, 120 amino acid motif called the RGS domain. The protein attenuates the signaling activity of G-proteins by binding to activated, GTP-bound G alpha subunits and acting as a GTPase activating protein (GAP), increasing the rate of conversion of the GTP to GDP. This hydrolysis allows the G alpha subunits to bind G beta/gamma subunit heterodimers, forming inactive G-protein heterotrimers, thereby terminating the signal.This gene encodes a member of the regulator of G-protein signaling family.

Alternate transcriptional splice variants of this gene have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized.
