| Cat. No. : |
RGS17-3639H |
| Description : |
RGS17, also known as regulator of G-protein signaling 17, attenuates the signaling activity of G-proteins by binding to activated, GTP-bound G alpha subunits and acting as a GTPase activating protein (GAP), increasing 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. It plays an important role in termination of signalling by mu opioid receptors and development of tolerance to opioid analgesic drugs. |
