Expression highlights for RGS subtype mRNAs
| RGS subtype | Regions and cell types where most enriched |
|---|---|
| RGS3 | Principal thalamic relay nuclei and white matter |
| RGS4 | Cortex, thalamus, and striatum, but noticeably low in hippocampus |
| RGS5 | Paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of hypothalamus, basomedial amygdala, and glia |
| RGS6 | Olfactory bulb, scattered striatal cells, medial habenula, reticular thalamic, subthalamic, and pontine nuclei |
| RGS7 | Widespread, relatively high in cerebellar granule cells |
| RGS8 | Widespread, extremely dense in cerebellar Purkinje cells; relatively dense in basal ganglia-related brainstem nuclei |
| RGS9 | Extremely dense in caudoputamen, nucleus accumbens, and olfactory tubercle; relatively dense in medial hypothalamus |
| RGS10 | Extremely dense in dentate gyrus granule cells; relatively dense in superficial layers of neocortex and dorsal raphe |
| RGS11 | Subfornical organ and locus coeruleus |
