Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: CNGA1

Alternate names for this Gene: CNCG|CNCG1|CNG-1|CNG1|RCNC1|RCNCa|RCNCalpha|RP49

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is involved in phototransduction. Along with another protein, the encoded protein forms a cGMP-gated cation channel in the plasma membrane, allowing depolarization of rod photoreceptors. This represents the last step in the phototransduction pathway. Defects in this gene are a cause of retinitis pigmentosa autosomal recessive (ARRP) disease. Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene.
