Gene: PCARE
Alternate names for this Gene: C2orf71|RP54
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is highly expressed in photoreceptors and may associate with the primary cilium of the outer segment. The encoded protein appears to undergo post-translational lipid modification. Nonsense and missense variants of this gene appear to cause a recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2p23.2
Description of this Gene: photoreceptor cilium actin regulator
Type of Gene: protein-coding
