Rgs8

Predicted to enable G-protein alpha-subunit binding activity and GTPase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of GTPase activity; and regulation of dopamine receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; dendrite; and neuronal cell body membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human RGS8 (regulator of G protein signaling 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Rgs8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
