Primary Identifier | MGI:98227 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 20215 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables opsin binding activity and phosphoprotein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor internalization. Located in photoreceptor inner segment and photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in eye and retina outer nuclear layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Oguchi disease-1; hereditary night blindness; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 47. Orthologous to human SAG (S-antigen visual arrestin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormalities in retinal rod cell outer segment morphology and rod electrophysiology. [provided by MGI curators] |
