Anti-RGS6 Antibody Picoband®, PE Conjugate

Regulator of G-protein signaling 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RGS6 gene. This gene encodes a member of the RGS (regulator of G protein signaling) family of proteins, which are defined by the presence of a RGS domain that confers the GTPase-activating activity of these proteins toward certain G alpha subunits. This protein also belongs to a subfamily of RGS proteins characterized by the presence of DEP and GGL domains, the latter a G beta 5-interacting domain. The RGS proteins negatively regulate G protein signaling, and may modulate neuronal, cardiovascular, lymphocytic activities, and cancer risk. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms with long or short N-terminal domains, complete or incomplete GGL domains, and distinct C-terminal domains, have been described for this gene, however, the full-length nature of some of these variants is not known.

Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 14A;17 kDa PKC-potentiated inhibitory protein of PP1;Protein kinase C-potentiated inhibitor protein of 17 kDa;CPI-17;PPP1R14A;CPI17, PPP1INL;

Inhibitor of PPP1CA. Has over 1000-fold higher inhibitory activity when phosphorylated, creating a molecular switch for regulating the phosphorylation status of PPP1CA substrates and smooth muscle contraction.
