RGS7 (Regulator of G protein signalling 7) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Breast cancer, Non-small-cell lung cancer and Melanoma. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

GTPase activator component of the RGS7-GNB5 complex that regulates G protein-coupled receptor signalling cascades. The RGS7-GNB5 complex acts as an inhibitor signal transduction by promoting the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, such as GNAO1, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. May play a role in synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Glycine-dependent regulation of the RGS7-GNB5 complex by GPR158 affects mood and cognition via its ability to regulate neuronal excitability in L2/L3 pyramidal neurons of the prefrontal cortex. Modulates the activity of potassium channels that are activated by GNAO1 in response to muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2/CHRM2 signalling. Location: Cytoplasm, cytosol; Cytoplasm; Cell membrane; Membrane (UniProt). Locus 1q43 (HGNC).
