Background
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. Binds to G(i)-alpha and G(o)-alpha, but not to G(s)-alpha. May play a role in regulating the kinetics of signaling in the phototransduction cascade.,PTM:Palmitoylated on Cys-2 and/or Cys-12.,PTM:Phosphorylation on Tyr-168 upon EGFR stimulation. Enhanced GTPase accelerating (GAP) activity on G(i)-alpha.,similarity:Contains 1 RGS domain.,tissue specificity:Abundantly expressed in retina with lower levels of expression in most other tissues.,
