WormMine: Gene WBGene00004345

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00004345
• Gene Name: rgs-2
• Sequence Name: F16H9.1
• Brief Description: rgs-2 encodes a regulator of G protein signaling; by homology, RGS-2 is predicted to function as a GTPase-activating protein for heterotrimeric G-protein alpha-subunits, and in vitro RGS-2 can stimulate the GTPase activity of purified GOA-1; in vivo, rgs-2 appears to function redundantly with rgs-1 to regulate egg-laying behavior when animals are refed following starvation; rgs-2 is expressed in pharyngeal and uterine muscles and in a subset of neurons, including neurons in the ventral cord and head- and tail-ganglia.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables GTPase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of signal transduction. Expressed in head neurons; pharyngeal muscle cell; tail neurons; uterine muscle; and ventral cord neurons. Is an ortholog of human RGS19 (regulator of G protein signaling 19).
• Biotype: SO:0001217

	Maternal class (M): genes that are called present in at least one of the three PC6 replicates.	A modified Welch F statistic was used for ANOVA. For each gene, regressed error estimates were substituted for observed error estimates. The substitution is justified by the lack of consistency among the most and least variable genes at each time point. Regressed error estimates were abundance-dependent pooled error estimates that represented a median error estimate from a window of genes of similar abundance to the gene of interest. A randomization test was used to compute the probability Pg of the observed F statistic for gene g under the null hypothesis that developmental time had no effect on expression. P-values were not corrected for multiple testing.	[cgc5767]:expression_class_M
