Gene: PRCD

Alternate names for this Gene: RP36

Gene Summary: This gene is predominantly expressed in the retina, and mutations in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive retinal degeneration in both humans and dogs. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q25.1

Description of this Gene: photoreceptor disc component

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: CYGB

Alternate names for this Gene: HGB|STAP

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a globin protein found in vertebrate cells. The encoded protein is described as a hexacoordinate hemoglobin which binds ligand differently from the pentacoordinate hemoglobins involved in oxygen transport, and may be involved in protection during oxidative stress. This gene is located on chromosome 17 in the same region as a retinal gene which is mutated in progressive rod-cone degeneration, but in the opposite orientation.
