FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

Also known as RGS8_HUMAN, RGS8. Regulates G protein-coupled receptor signaling cascades, including signaling via muscarinic acetylcholine receptor CHRM2 and dopamine receptor DRD2 (By similarity). Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form (PubMed:18434541). Modulates the activity of potassium channels that are activated in response to DRD2 and CHRM2 signaling (By similarity). Interacts with GNAO1 (By similarity). Interacts with GNAI3.
