Abstract: Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS proteins) is a negative regulator in the G protein-mediated signaling. Recently, researches were focused on G proteins and RGS proteins. This review summarized investigative progress in animals and plant in recent years. The structure and categories were described detailed. The functions including acting as GAPs, integration G protein signaling, scaffolding protein and regulating cell transportation were analyzed. The regulatory mechanism of RGS protein was introduced from the aspect of phosphorylation, lipidmodification, degradation of RGS proteins and so on. Deep research of the RGS protein was conducive to know more about the signaling pathway.
