Rgs7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables G-protein alpha-subunit binding activity and G-protein beta-subunit binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of potassium ion transmembrane transport; response to amphetamine; and response to ethanol. Located in nuclear envelope. Part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to human RGS7 (regulator of G protein signaling 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
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 rat Rgs7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
