RGS13


Description

The RGS13 (regulator of G protein signaling 13) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.

RGS13, encoded by the RGS13 gene, is a member of the R4 subfamily of the Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) protein family. RGS13 suppresses immunoglobulin E-mediated allergic responses. Like other RGS proteins, it possesses a conserved RGS domain and functions by accelerating the GTPase activity of G protein alpha-subunits, transitioning them into their inactive GDP-bound form, effectively downregulating G protein signaling. The specific biological function of RGS13 remains unknown. Two transcript variants, encoding the same protein isoform, have been identified.

RGS13 inhibits signal transduction by accelerating the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, leading to their inactive GDP-bound form. It interacts with both G(i)-alpha and G(q)-alpha.

RGS13 is also known as -.
