Interacting Proteins
Name Effect References
TrkA, H-Ras-GTP, B-Raf, MEK2 Prolongs ERK signaling 26
CXCR2 21
platelet derived growth factor receptor beta Inhibition of downstream signaling 17
Cav2.2 Voltage-independent inhibition 15-16,18
Tyrosine phosphorylated calcium channel RGS12 accelerates the rate of reversal of the voltage-independent pathway mediated by tyrosine kinase. 18
NF-κB(p65), COX-2 RGS12 binds to NF-κBB(p65) through its PTB domain, promoting NF-κBB(p65) phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. RGS12 and NF-κB(p65) associate with COX2. Overexpression of COX2 leads to an increase in nuclear translocation of RGS12 and NF-κBB(p65). 32
κ receptor RGS12 attenuates G protein signaling and augments β-arrestin signaling downstream of KOR via independent signaling mechanisms. 4
ATP5A RGS12 regulates tyrosine phosphorylation of ATP5A 31
Associated Protein Comments
RGS12 has two distinct G protein binding sites, the RGS domain and the GPR motif (also known as GoLoco). The RGS domain can bind and serve as a GTPase activating protein (GAP) for activated (GTP bound) members of the Gαi/o subfamily of G proteins including Gai1, Gai2, Gai3 and Gao. The GPR motif selectively binds inactive (GDP bound) Gai1 and Gai3.
