RGS9 is a member of the RGS family of signaling proteins that suppress the activity of G proteins by promoting their deactivation. There are two splice isoforms of RGS9 with quite different properties and patterns of expression. RGS9-1 is mainly found in the eye and is involved in regulation of phototransduction in rod and cone cells of the retina, while RGS9-2 is is expressed specifically in the striatum, a brain region involved in controlling movement, motivation, mood and addition. This antibody got about 58kD in the mouse eye and 70kD in the mouse brain in western blotting, both in line with their expected masses. Defects in RGS9 are a cause of prolonged electroretinal response suppression (PERRS).
