| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables 11-cis retinal binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within visual perception. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell body; centrosome; and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; foregut; spinal cord ventricular layer; and viscerocranium. Used to study Bothnia retinal dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bothnia retinal dystrophy; Newfoundland cone-rod dystrophy; fundus albipunctatus; night blindness; and retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human RLBP1 (retinaldehyde binding protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display delayed dark adaptation as well as reduced retinal degeneration.
