PDC - phosducin Gene
Also Known as PHD; MEKA; PhLP; PhLOP
Species: Homo sapiens
About PDC
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 269 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
Summary
This gene encodes a phosphoprotein, which is located in the outer and inner segments of the rod cells in the retina. This protein may participate in the regulation of visual phototransduction or in the integration of photoreceptor metabolism. It modulates the phototransduction cascade by interacting with the beta and gamma subunits of the retinal G-protein transducin. This gene is a potential candidate gene for retinitis pigmentosa and Usher syndrome type II. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
