Mammalian RGS Proteins
| RGS family | Domains present | RGS1 | G protein specificity | References to Drugs of Abuse2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1Alternative names are given in parentheses. | ||||
| 2RGS-insensitive mutants of Gαo are used in references 26, 87, and 88. | ||||
| 3RGS3 is much larger than other members of the R4 family and has multiple splice variants, some of which include a PDZ domain. | ||||
| 4RGS12 has a splice variant with N-terminal PDZ and PTB domains and interacts with N-type calcium channels. | ||||
| 5Rho GEF RH domains have GAP activity toward Gα12, Gα13, and Gαq, but their primary function appears to be as effectors, not inhibitors, of signaling. | ||||
| 6GRK2 and GRK3 only. | ||||
| Abbreviations: D-AKAP2, dual-specificity A-kinase-anchoring protein 2; GAIP, Gα-interacting protein; GEF, guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor; GRK, G-protein receptor kinase; LARG, leukaemia-associated RhoGEF; PDZ, PSD95/Dlg/Z0-1 domain; RGS, regulator of G-protein signaling; R9AP, R9-associated protein; R7PB, R7 binding protein; SNX, sorting nexin. | ||||
