Regulator of G protein signaling 17 represents a novel target for treating cisplatin induced hearing loss

Abstract Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) accelerate the GTPase activity of G proteins to enable rapid termination of the signals triggered by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Activation of several GPCRs, including cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) and adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR), protects a...
