Abstract
The recently discovered regulators of G-protein signaling proteins, termed the RGS family, have been shown to modulate the functioning of G-proteins by activating the intrinsic guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) activity of the α subunits. Here, we report the chromosomal location and tissue expression of the human regulator of RGS6 gene. The messenger RNA was ubiquitously expressed in various tissues. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based analysis with a human/rodent monochromosomal hybrid panel and a radiation hybrid panel indicated that the gene was mapped between genetic markers WI-5202 and D14S277 on chromosome 14q24.3 region.
