Official Full Name: G protein subunit alpha transducin 2provided by RGD
Primary source: RGD:1309514
See related: EnsemblRapid:ENSRNOG00000019296 AllianceGenome:RGD:1309514
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus
Summary: Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity; G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity; and GTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste; positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration; and response to light intensity. Located in photoreceptor inner segment and photoreceptor outer segment. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 4 and color blindness. Orthologous to human GNAT2 (G protein subunit alpha transducin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in Lung (RPKM 19.3), Adrenal (RPKM 7.8) and 9 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
