| Gene Symbol | RGS8 |
| Full Name | Regulator of G Protein Signaling 8 |
| Chromosome | 1q23.3 |
| Function | These G proteins mediate signaling from numerous neuronal receptors including dopamine receptors (particularly D2R), muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M1/M4), serotonin receptors (5-HT1A/5-HT2), and |
