Regulator of G-protein signaling 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RGS12 gene.[1][2]

This gene encodes a member of the 'regulator of G protein signaling' (RGS) gene family. The encoded protein may function as a guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase)-activating protein as well as a transcriptional repressor. This protein may play a role in tumorigenesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. Other alternative splice variants have been described but their biological nature has not been determined.[2]

Interactions

RGS12 has been shown to interact with GNAI1[3] and GNAI3.[3]
