UniProt Protein Function: | RGS6: Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. Activity on G(o)-alpha is specifically enhanced by the RGS6/Gbeta5 dimer. 11 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
UniProt Protein Details: | Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 14q24.3 Cellular Component: Golgi apparatus; cytoplasm; plasma membrane; heterotrimeric G-protein complex Molecular Function:protein domain specific binding; protein binding; signal transducer activity; GTPase activator activity Biological Process: G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; positive regulation of neuron differentiation; regulation of G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; positive regulation of GTPase activity |
NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the RGS (regulator of G protein signaling) family of proteins, which are defined by the presence of a RGS domain that confers the GTPase-activating activity of these proteins toward certain G alpha subunits. This protein also belongs to a subfamily of RGS proteins characterized by the presence of DEP and GGL domains, the latter a G beta 5-interacting domain. The RGS proteins negatively regulate G protein signaling, and may modulate neuronal, cardiovascular, lymphocytic activities, and cancer risk. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms with long or short N-terminal domains, complete or incomplete GGL domains, and distinct C-terminal domains, have been described for this gene, however, the full-length nature of some of these variants is not known.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011] |
