General description

Regulator of G-protein signaling 12 is a protein encoded by the RGS12 gene in humans belonging to the RGS protein family. It is a nuclear protein that exhibits a unique pattern of subnuclear organization into nuclear foci or dots when expressed endogenously or ectopically. RGS12 consists of alternatively spliced PDZ domain by which RGS proteins may target specific G-protein-coupled receptor systems for desensitization.

Immunogen

Immunogen Sequence: GI # 38327601, sequence 1372-1447

Recombinant regulator of G-protein signalling 12 isoform 1

Application

Anti-RGS12 (ab1) 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 12 plays a role during alternative splicing and cell cycle-dependent mechanisms in expression and subnuclear targeting of RGS12 proteins. RGS12 possesses a novel structure and function in the nucleus and the biological activities are distinct from those of other members of the RGS protein family.
