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.

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human RGS9, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by three amino acids.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in the caudate and putamen, lower levels found in the hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens and very low levels in cerebellum. Not expressed in globus pallidus or cingulate cortex. Isoform 2 is expressed predominantly in pineal gland and retina. Isoform 3 is expressed in retina (abundant in photoreceptors).

Applications

WB

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. Binds to G (t)-alpha. Involved in phototransduction; key element in the recovery phase of visual transduction (By similarity). .
