Gene:
regulator of G-protein signalling 5
Gene ID:
208398
Symbol:
RGS5
Species:
1000
Description:
The regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins are signal transduction molecules that have structural homology to SST2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and EGL-10 of Caenorhabditis elegans. Multiple genes homologous to SST2 are present in higher eukaryotes. RGS proteins are involved in the regulation of heterotrimeric G proteins by acting as GTPase activators.[supplied by OMIM]
