ID:RGS2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Regulator of G-protein signaling 2; Short=RGS2; AltName: Full=Cell growth-inhibiting gene 31 protein; AltName: Full=G0/G1 switch regulatory protein 8; FUNCTION: Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. May play a role in leukemogenesis. Plays a role in negative feedback control pathway for adenylyl cyclase signaling. Binds EIF2B5 and blocks its activity, thereby inhibiting the translation of mRNA into protein. SUBUNIT: Interacts with EIF2B5. Interacts with PRKG1 (isoform alpha). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 1: Cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 2: Cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 3: Cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 4: Cell membrane. Mitochondrion. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). PTM: Phosphorylated by protein kinase C. Phosphorylation by PRKG1 leads to activation of RGS2 activity. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 RGS domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
