Gene Summary

Enables carotenoid isomerooxygenase activity. Involved in isoprenoid metabolic process; phototransduction; and rhodopsin biosynthetic process. Is expressed in several structures, including Bolwig organ primordium; adult brain; adult head; photoreceptor; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 2; retinitis pigmentosa; retinitis pigmentosa 20; and retinitis pigmentosa 87. Orthologous to several human genes including BCO1 (beta-carotene oxygenase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
