Also known as: LCA; CACD; CG-E; CYGD; LCA1; RCD2; CACD1; CORD5; CORD6; GUC2D; ROSGC; retGC; CSNB1I; GUC1A4; RETGC-1; ROS-GC1

Summary

This gene encodes a retina-specific guanylate cyclase, which is a member of the membrane guanylyl cyclase family. Like other membrane guanylyl cyclases, this enzyme has a hydrophobic amino-terminal signal sequence followed by a large extracellular domain, a single membrane spanning domain, a kinase homology domain, and a guanylyl cyclase catalytic domain. In contrast to other membrane guanylyl cyclases, this enzyme is not activated by natriuretic peptides. Mutations in this gene result in Leber congenital amaurosis and cone-rod dystrophy-6 diseases.
