Gene: GPR179

Alternate names for this Gene: CSNB1E|GPR158L|GPR158L1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the glutamate receptor subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors. The encoded protein has an EGF-like calcium binding domain and a seven transmembrane domain in the N-terminal region of the protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital stationary night blindness type 1E.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q12

Description of this Gene: G protein-coupled receptor 179

Type of Gene: protein-coding
