Regulator of G protein signaling 9-2 (RGS9-2) mRNA is up regulated during neuronal differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells

► The mRNA for the R7 Regulator of G protein family members demonstrate distinct expression patterns during neuronal differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells. ► RGS9 mRNA is up regulated 125 fold in cells with characteristics of neuronal precursor cell types derived from mouse embryonic stem cells. ► RGS9 and R7BP mRNA are also expressed in neural stem cells isolated from embryonic mouse cortex.
