Rabbit anti-Human RGS10 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O43665

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RGS10

Target Full Name

Regulator of G-protein signaling 10

Target Function

Regulates G protein-coupled receptor signaling cascades, including signaling downstream of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor CHRM2. Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. Modulates the activity of potassium channels that are activated in response to CHRM2 signaling. Activity on GNAZ is inhibited by palmitoylation of the G-protein.

Target Subcellular Location

[Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm, cytosol. Nucleus.; Nucleus.

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction

Target Synonyms

Regulator of G protein signaling 10; Regulator of G-protein signaling 10; RGS10; RGS10_HUMAN

Target Background

Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) family members are regulatory molecules that act as GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) for G alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. RGS proteins are able to deactivate G protein subunits of the Gi alpha, Go alpha and Gq alpha subtypes. They drive G proteins into their inactive GDP-bound forms. Regulator of G protein signaling 10 belongs to this family. All RGS proteins share a conserved 120-amino acid sequence termed the RGS domain. This protein associates specifically with the activated forms of the two related G-protein subunits, G-alphai3 and G-alphaz but fails to interact with the structurally and functionally distinct G-alpha subunits. Regulator of G protein signaling 10 protein is localized in the nucleus. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
