Description

guanylate cyclase 2e

Gene Summary

Enables guanylate cyclase activity. Involved in cGMP biosynthetic process. Located in photoreceptor outer segment membrane. Is expressed in dorsal root ganglion; retina outer nuclear layer; and spinal cord. Used to study Leber congenital amaurosis 1 and cone-rod dystrophy 6. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 1; choroidal sclerosis; cone-rod dystrophy 6; congenital stationary night blindness; and retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human GUCY2D (guanylate cyclase 2D, retinal). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
