Gene: CNGA3
Alternate names for this Gene: ACHM2|CCNC1|CCNCa|CCNCalpha|CNCG3|CNG3
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel protein family which is required for normal vision and olfactory signal transduction. Mutations in this gene are associated with achromatopsia (rod monochromacy) and color blindness. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2q11.2
Description of this Gene: cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
