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, Nov 2024]

Rod Photoreceptors Avoid Saturation in Bright Light by the Movement of the G Protein Transducin.
Title: Rod Photoreceptors Avoid Saturation in Bright Light by the Movement of the G Protein Transducin.
Data suggest light reduces oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of retina; light does not affect OCR in retinas of Gnat1-/- knockout mice (phototransduction disabled). Light reduces cGMP in retina; light does not alter cGMP in Gnat1-/- plus Gnat2-/- retina.
Title: Phototransduction Influences Metabolic Flux and Nucleotide Metabolism in Mouse Retina.
The Gnat2(c.518A>G) mouse contains a missense mutation that results in no cone function due to a misfolding of transducin. Cone photoreceptors also show signs of opsin mislocalization, retinal remodeling and degeneration.
Title: A naturally occurring mouse model of achromatopsia: characterization of the mutation in cone transducin and subsequent retinal phenotype.
rod and cone transducin alpha-subunits are functionally interchangeable and their signaling properties do not contribute to the intrinsic light sensitivity differences between rods and cones
Title: Functional interchangeability of rod and cone transducin alpha-subunits.
The Gnat2(cpfl3) mutation leads to cone dysfunction and the progressive loss of cone alpha-transducin immunolabeling.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
