This gene encodes a member of the regulator of G-protein
signaling family. This protein contains one RGS domain, two
Raf-like Ras-binding domains (RBDs), and one GoLoco domain. The
protein attenuates the signaling activity of G-proteins by binding,
through its GoLoco domain, to specific types of activated,
GTP-bound G alpha subunits. Acting as a GTPase activating protein
(GAP), the protein increases the rate of conversion of the GTP to
GDP. This hydrolysis allows the G alpha subunits to bind G
beta/gamma subunit heterodimers, forming inactive G-protein
heterotrimers, thereby terminating the signal. Alternate
transcriptional splice variants of this gene have been observed but
have not been thoroughly characterized.1) Wang, J., et al. Carcinogenesis 31(10):1755-1761(2010)
