Rom1 - retinal outer segment membrane protein 1 Gene

Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception; protein complex oligomerization; and retina development in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in photoreceptor outer segment membrane. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 7. Orthologous to human ROM1 (retinal outer segment membrane protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
