Guca1a - guanylate cyclase activator 1a (retina) Gene

Also Known as GC-A; Gcap1; Guca1; mGCAP1

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 14913

Summary

This gene encodes a calcium-binding photoreceptor protein. The encoded protein may be involved in modulation of guanylyl cyclase activity, and in turn, the mammalian cone phototransduction cascade. Disruption of this gene results in the retinal degeneration associated with cone dystrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
