NCIt synonyms : RGS Protein; Regulator of G-Protein Signaling Family Protein;
NCIt definition : RGS family proteins activate GTPase and regulate G protein signaling by stimulating
the inactivation of heterotrimeric G proteins. RGS family proteins are responsible
for the rapid turnoff of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathways. There are
indications that a subset of RGS proteins regulate specific G protein-coupled receptor
pathways.;
