PERRS1
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]
Forensic Context
A study in mice demonstrated that the RGS9 was found in a nucleus accumbens network module that was protected from differential wiring changes associated with selective breeding for high versus low methamphetamine intake, and this module was enriched for G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway annotations [Hitzemann et al. DOI:10.3390/brainsci9070155].
