Primary Identifier | MGI:1194489 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 107477 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium sensitive guanylate cyclase activator activity. Acts upstream of or within phototransduction; regulation of guanylate cyclase activity; and visual perception. Located in photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in retina outer nuclear layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 48. Orthologous to human GUCA1B (guanylate cyclase activator 1B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit abnormal rod electrophysiology. [provided by MGI curators] |
