Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable cyclic nucleotide binding activity and intracellularly cyclic nucleotide-activated monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in membrane depolarization; monoatomic cation transport; and regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Located in photoreceptor outer segment membrane and rod photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in photoreceptor layer outer segment; retina; and retina outer nuclear layer. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa 49. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa and retinitis pigmentosa 49. Orthologous to human CNGA1 (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 1).
