Summary
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity; retinal binding activity; and spectrin binding activity. Involved in photoreceptor cell maintenance. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including detection of temperature stimulus involved in thermoception; thermotaxis; and visual perception. Located in several cellular components, including photoreceptor inner segment; sperm head plasma membrane; and sperm midpiece. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; and heart. Used to study congenital stationary night blindness autosomal dominant 1 and retinitis pigmentosa 4. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness autosomal dominant 1; fundus albipunctatus; night blindness; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 4. Orthologous to human RHO (rhodopsin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
