Gene

Gnat2

Species
Rattus norvegicus
Symbol
Gnat2
Name
G protein subunit alpha transducin 2
Synonyms
  • guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), alpha transducing 2
  • guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), alpha transducing activity polypeptide 2
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity; G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity; and GTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste; positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration; and response to light intensity. Located in photoreceptor inner segment and photoreceptor outer segment. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 4 and color blindness. Orthologous to human GNAT2 (G protein subunit alpha transducin 2).
