Abstract excerpt
RGS family members are GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) that antagonize signaling by heterotrimeric G proteins. Injection of Xenopus embryos with RNA encoding rat RGS4 (rRGS4), a GAP for G(i) and G(q), resulted in shortened trunks and decreased skeletal muscle. This phenotype is nearly identical to the effect of injection of either frzb or dominant negative Xwnt-8. Injection of human RGS2, which selectively...
