Summary: Enables G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity and retinal binding activity. Acts upstream of or within absorption of visible light. Located in photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; endocrine system; photoreceptor cell; presumptive neural retina; and visual system. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa. 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]

What's a GeneRIF?

The efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9 for gene targeting, coupled with the large number of mutations associated with retinitis pigmentosa, provided a backdrop for the rapid isolation of novel alleles in zebrafish that phenocopy disease.

overexpression of full-length rhodopsin or its cytoplasmic tail domain, but not of rhodopsin lacking the cytoplasmic tail, exacerbated rod degeneration in kif3a mutants, implying an important role of the cytoplasmic tail in rod degeneration.

expression as well as the protein localization of rhodopsin in the zebrafish from larval to adult stage were demonstrated; results demonstrated the involvement of rhodopsin in the zebrafish pineal gland physiology particularly in light capture during the zebrafish lifespan

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.
