Scientific background: | Regulator of G-protein signaling 9, also known as RGS9 is a human gene, which codes for a protein involved in regulation of signal transduction inside cells. This gene is mapped to 17q24.1. This gene encodes a member of the RGS family of GTPase activating proteins that function in various signaling pathways by accelerating the deactivation of G proteins. This protein is anchored to photoreceptor membranes in retinal cells and deactivates G proteins in the rod and cone phototransduction cascades. Mutations in this gene result in bradyopsia. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. |
