“…Moreover, the impacts of RGS proteins on a variety of GPCR signaling pathways have been determined in those animal models (9,18). Up to now, the RGS family members have been divided into nine subfamilies including RZ (RGS17, 19,20), R4 (RGS1-5, 8, 13, 16, 18, 21), R7 (RGS6, 7, 9, 11), R12 (RGS10, 12,14), RA (AXIN, AXIN2), GEF (p115-RhoGEF, PDZ-RhoGEF, LARG), GRK (GRK1-7), SNX (SNX13, 14, 25), and others (RGS22, D-AKAP2) (19). Some RGS proteins and their signaling pathways have been discovered to regulate skeletal formation/remodeling, and the changes in these RGS proteins leads to various bone diseases in human.…”
