GNGT2 - G protein subunit gamma transducin 2 Gene
Also Known as GNG9; HG3I; GNGT8; G-GAMMA-8; G-GAMMA-C
Species: Homo sapiens
About GNGT2
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 170 orthologues and 11 paralogues. Broad expression in spleen (RPKM 5.8), lymph node (RPKM 4.5) and 21 other tissues.
Summary
Phototransduction in rod and cone photoreceptors is regulated by groups of signaling proteins. The encoded protein is thought to play a crucial role in cone phototransduction. It belongs to the G protein gamma family and localized specifically in cones. Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
