This is the community wiki page for the gene rgs9 please feel free to add any information that is relevant to this gene that is not already captured elsewhere in Xenbase.

nomenclature updates

19MAY2026 Xenopus gene nomenclature was updated, changing from rgs11, regulator of G-protein signaling 11 to rgs9, regulator of G-protein signaling 9. These genes were misidetified as each other in the v10 genome annotation. This change is supported by synteny.

summary for human RGS9 from NCBI

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]
