Gene: RGS9
Alternate names for this Gene: PERRS|RGS9L
Gene Summary: 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17q24.1
Description of this Gene: regulator of G protein signaling 9
Type of Gene: protein-coding
