Gene: RGS2

Alternate names for this Gene: G0S8

Gene Summary: Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) family members are regulatory molecules that act as GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) for G alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. RGS proteins are able to deactivate G protein subunits of the Gi alpha, Go alpha and Gq alpha subtypes. They drive G proteins into their inactive GDP-bound forms. Regulator of G protein signaling 2 belongs to this family. The protein acts as a mediator of myeloid differentiation and may play a role in leukemogenesis.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q31.2

Description of this Gene: regulator of G protein signaling 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
