are a family with around 20 members characterized by the presence of a conserved RGS-homology (RH) domain This domain contains the catalytic core that catalyzes the hydrolysis of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) In addition to the RGS domain, RGS proteins also contain a range of other structural motifs that are critical for their function, including the G protein-binding domain, the DEP (Dishevelled, Egl-10 and Pleckstrin domain) domain, and the GoLoco motif[2, 3].
