RGS13
Encyclopedia
Regulator of G-protein signaling 13 is a protein
that in humans is encoded by the RGS13 gene
.
RGS 13 is a member of R4 subfamily of RGS (Regualtors of G Protein Signaling) proteins which have only short peptide sequences flanking the RGS domain. RGS 13 suppresses the immunoglobulin E- mediated allergic responses.
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...
