About CNGA1

Cytogenetic location: 4p12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:47,935,977-48,016,681 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 273 orthologues, 17 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Broad expression in liver (RPKM 2.5), small intestine (RPKM 1.6) and 17 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in phototransduction. Along with another protein, the encoded protein forms a cGMP-gated cation channel in the plasma membrane, allowing depolarization of rod photoreceptors. This represents the last step in the phototransduction pathway. Defects in this gene are a cause of retinitis pigmentosa autosomal recessive (ARRP) disease. Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2019]
