D12.776.476.325.150.750
Unique ID
D020710
RDF Unique Identifier

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.
