Gene: GNGT1

Alternate names for this Gene: GNG1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the gamma subunit of transducin, a guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) that is found in rod outer segments. Transducin, also known as GMPase, mediates the activation of a cyclic GTP-specific (guanosine monophosphate) phosphodiesterase by rhodopsin.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q21.3

Description of this Gene: G protein subunit gamma transducin 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
