Gene: RGS16
Alternate names for this Gene: A28-RGS14|A28-RGS14P|RGS-R
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the 'regulator of G protein signaling' family. It inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits. It also may play a role in regulating the kinetics of signaling in the phototransduction cascade.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1q25.3
Description of this Gene: regulator of G protein signaling 16
Type of Gene: protein-coding
