RGS Proteins MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
RGS Proteins
Tree Number(s)
D12.644.360.325.150.750
D12.776.476.325.150.750
Unique ID
D020710
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020710
Annotation
do not confuse with GTP-BINDING PROTEIN REGULATORS; not the same as RGS tripeptide
Scope Note
A large family of evolutionarily conserved proteins that function as negative regulators of HETEROTRIMERIC GTP-BINDING PROTEINS. RGS PROTEINS act by increasing the GTPase activity of the G alpha subunit of a heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein, causing it to revert to its inactive (GDP-bound) form.
Entry Term(s)
RGS Protein (G-Protein Signaling)
Regulators of G-Protein Signaling Proteins
Pharm Action
GTP Phosphohydrolase Activators
Registry Numbers
0
