Related Product Information for anti-RGS20 antibody

RGS proteins are regulatory and structural components GPCR complexes. These are GAPs for Gi and Gq class G-alpha proteins and negatively regulate GPCR signaling pathways. RGS20, a 25kD protein, is a novel member of this family and is human homolog of bovine Gz-GAP. It contains an N-terminal cysteine string that is potential site for multiple palmitoylation and a C-terminal RGS core domain. RGS20 plays a vital role in regulating GPCR signals in brain, neuronal development and regulation of golgi structure. It specifically interacts and accelerates the hydrolysis of G-alphaz. Reports suggest that it interacts with G-alphai subunit and plays a significant role in regulation of G-alphai-mediated signaling. It is a membrane-bound protein specifically expressed in brain, with highest concentrations in caudate nucleus and temporal lobe.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins, which are regulatory and structural components of G protein-coupled receptor complexes. RGS proteins inhibit signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound forms. This protein selectively binds to G(z)-alpha and G(alpha)-i2 subunits, and regulates their signaling activities. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

Uniprot Description

RGS20: Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. Binds selectively to G(z)-alpha and G(alpha)-i2 subunits, accelerates their GTPase activity and regulates their signaling activities. The G(z)-alpha activity is inhibited by the phosphorylation and palmitoylation of the G- protein. Negatively regulates mu-opioid receptor-mediated activation of the G-proteins. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
