Summary: Enables G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity and GTPase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to electrical stimulus; detection of light stimulus; and eye photoreceptor cell differentiation. Located in photoreceptor connecting cilium; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in brain; eye; photoreceptor layer outer segment; retina; and retina outer nuclear layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness 1G; congenital stationary night blindness autosomal dominant 3; and night blindness. Orthologous to human GNAT1 (G protein subunit alpha transducin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
