Gene: RGS8

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) family and encodes a protein with a single RGS domain. Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins are regulatory and structural components of G protein-coupled receptor complexes. They accelerate transit through the cycle of GTP binding and hydrolysis to GDP, thereby terminating signal transduction, but paradoxically, also accelerate receptor-stimulated activation.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q25.3

Description of this Gene: regulator of G protein signaling 8

Type of Gene: protein-coding
