Target Details for RGS

Target: RGS (Regulator of G-Protein Signaling 9 (RGS))

Alternative Name: RGS9

Background:

Synonyms: Regulator of G-protein signaling 9,RGS9,RGS9,

Tissue Specificity: Highly expressed in the caudate and putamen, lower levels found in the hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens and very low levels in cerebellum. Not expressed in globus pallidus or cingulate cortex. Isoform 2 is expressed predominantly in pineal gland and retina. Isoform 3 is expressed in retina (abundant in photoreceptors).

Background: Regulator of G-protein signaling 9, also known as RGS9 is a human gene, which codes for a protein involved in regulation of signal transduction inside cells. This gene is mapped to 17q24.1. This gene encodes a member of the RGS family of GTPase activating proteins that function in various signaling pathways by accelerating the deactivation of G proteins. This protein is anchored to photoreceptor membranes in retinal cells and deactivates G proteins in the rod and cone phototransduction cascades. Mutations in this gene result in bradyopsia. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Sequence Similarities: Contains 1 DEP domain.

Molecular Weight: 56 kDa, 77 kDa

UniProt: O75916

Pathways: Myometrial Relaxation and Contraction, Regulation of G-Protein Coupled Receptor Protein Signaling, Phototransduction
