Rgs8 - regulator of G-protein signaling 8

Predicted to enable G-protein alpha-subunit binding activity and GTPase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of GTPase activity; and regulation of dopamine receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in dendrite; neuronal cell body membrane; and nucleus. Predicted to be extrinsic component of cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human RGS8 (regulator of G protein signaling 8).
