RGS7 (regulator of G-protein signaling 7) is a member of the R7 subfamily of RGS superfamily of regulators, and shares high homology with RGS9-2. It is composed of the catalytic RGS domain, a dishevelled, EGL-10 and pleckstrin (DEP) domain in its N-terminal, along with a G protein γ subunit-like (GGL) domain. It is both a soluble cytosolic protein as well as a membrane protein.

Recombinant regulator of G-protein signalling 7
Application
Anti-RGS7 antibody produced in chicken is suitable for western blotting analysis at a dilution of 1:500, for tissue or cell staining at a dilution of 1:200.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Regulator of G-protein signaling 7 belongs to a subfamily of regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins, which modulate G protein signaling by acting as GTPase-activating proteins for G protein α-subunits. RGS7 exists as a dimer with the G protein β(5)-subunit. It plays a major role in the pathogenesis of panic disorder (PD). RGS7 has a potential role in neurons communicating between classical heterotrimeric G protein subunits and/or their effectors at the plasma membrane and the cell nucleus. It helps in regulating signaling by μ-opioid receptor (MOR) and dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) and are implicated in drug addiction, movement disorders and nociception.

Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins play essential roles in the regulation of signaling via G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). With hundreds of GPCRs and dozens of G proteins, it is important to understand how RGS regulates selective GPCR-G protein

Following our recent finding of Rgs2 playing a role in the development of human panic disorder (PD), we examine another positional and functional candidate from the functionally interwoven Rgs (regulator of G-protein signaling) family, Rgs7, in the pathogenesis of PD.
