Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable 11-cis retinal binding activity; G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity; and spectrin binding activity. Involved in photoreceptor cell maintenance. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including podosome assembly; rod bipolar cell differentiation; and thermotaxis. Located in several cellular components, including rod photoreceptor outer segment; sperm head plasma membrane; and sperm midpiece. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; and heart. Used to study congenital stationary night blindness autosomal dominant 1; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 4. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness autosomal dominant 1; fundus albipunctatus; night blindness; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 4. Orthologous to human RHO (rhodopsin).
