Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 225600 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 3',5'-cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase activity and 3',5'-cyclic-GMP phosphodiesterase activity. Acts upstream of or within photoreceptor cell maintenance and retina development in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in photoreceptor outer segment membrane. Is expressed in eye; retina; and retina outer nuclear layer. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 43. Orthologous to human PDE6A (phosphodiesterase 6A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice have retinal degeneration.
