gnat2 - guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), alpha transducing activity polypeptide 2

Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity; G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity; and GTPase activity. Acts upstream of or within detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception. Predicted to be part of heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in head; pineal complex; and visual system. Used to study achromatopsia and cone-rod dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 4 and color blindness. Orthologous to human GNAT2 (G protein subunit alpha transducin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
