Short Name | RGS6_RGS |
description | This entry represents the RGS domain of RGS6 (regulator of G-protein signaling 6). RGS6 is a member of the R7 RGS protein subfamily. Other members of the R7 subfamily (Neuronal RGS) include: RGS7, RGS9, and RGS11, all of which are expressed predominantly in the nervous system, form an obligatory complex with G-beta-5, and play important roles in the regulation of crucial neuronal processes such as vision and motor control []. RGS6 exists in multiple splice isoforms with identical RGS domains, but possess complete or incomplete GGL domains and distinct N- and C-terminal domains []. RGS6 interacts with SCG10, a neuronal growth-associated protein and therefore regulates neuronal differentiation []. Another RGS6-binding protein is DMAP1, a component of the Dnmt1 complex involved in repression of newly replicated genes []. |
