Description

G protein subunit alpha transducin 2

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity; G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity; and GTPase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including detection of light stimulus; homeostasis of number of retina cells; and retina morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in early conceptus; eye; and oocyte. Used to study achromatopsia and achromatopsia 4. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 4 and color blindness. Orthologous to human GNAT2 (G protein subunit alpha transducin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
