This gene encodes a member of the regulator of G-protein signaling family.
This protein is contains a conserved, 120aa motif called the RGS domain.
The protein attenuates the signaling activity of G-proteins by binding to activated, GTP-bound G alpha subunits and acting as a GTPase activating protein (GAP), increasing the rate of conversion of the GTP to GDP.
This hydrolysis allows the G alpha subunits to bind G beta/gamma subunit heterodimers, forming inactive G-protein heterotrimers, thereby terminating the signal.
Alternate transcriptional splice variants of this gene have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized.
