| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in intraciliary transport. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to light stimulus; eye morphogenesis; and visual perception. Located in several cellular components, including ciliary basal body; photoreceptor distal connecting cilium; and sperm flagellum. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; liver; nervous system; sensory organ; and spleen. Used to study X-linked cone-rod dystrophy 1 and retinitis pigmentosa 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked atrophic macular degeneration; X-linked cone-rod dystrophy 1; X-linked retinitis pigmentosa and sinorespiratory infections; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 3. Orthologous to human RPGR (retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator). PHENOTYPE: Homo- and hemizygotes for an X-linked, targeted, null mutation exhibit ectopic placement of cone opsins, reduced levels of rhodopsin in rod cells, and partial degeneration of both cone and rod photoreceptors by 2-6 months of age.
