Function | Regulates G protein-coupled receptor signaling cascades. Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP- bound form (PubMed:11602604, PubMed:18434541). Plays an important role in the phototransduction cascade by regulating the lifetime and effective concentration of activated transducin alpha. May regulate extra and intracellular mitogenic signals (By similarity). |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the 'regulatorof G protein signaling' family. It inhibits signal transduction byincreasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits. It alsomay play a role in regulating the kinetics of signaling in thephototransduction cascade.
