{"symbol":"RGS9","synonyms":["PERRS","RGS9L"],"name":"regulator of G-protein signaling 9","description":"This gene encodes a member of the RGS family of GTPase activating proteins that function in various signaling pathways by accelerating the deactivation of G proteins. This protein is anchored to photoreceptor membranes in retinal cells and deactivates G proteins in the rod and cone phototransduction cascades. Mutations in this gene result in bradyopsia. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":8787,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/8787","proteins":[{"symbol":"RGS9_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/RGS9_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS)","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Regulators+of+G-protein+signaling+%28RGS%29"}]}
