Gene: PDE6G

Alternate names for this Gene: PDEG|RP57

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the gamma subunit of cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase, which is composed of alpha- and beta- catalytic subunits and two identical, inhibitory gamma subunits. This gene is expressed in rod photoreceptors and functions in the phototransduction signaling cascade. It is also expressed in a variety of other tissues, and has been shown to regulate the c-Src protein kinase and G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q25.3

Description of this Gene: phosphodiesterase 6G

Type of Gene: protein-coding
