Facts about Regulator of G-protein signaling 9-binding protein.
Acts as a membrane-anchor that mediates the targeting of RGS9-1 into the photoreceptor outer segment, where phototransduction occurs. Enhances the capacity of RGS9-1 to stimulate G protein GTPase activity, allowing the visual signal to be terminated on the physiologically time scale.
