Summary: 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]

What's a GeneRIF?

this study describes several functional differences between transducin gene duplicates resulting from the teleost-specific tetraploidisation.
Title: Transducin duplicates in the zebrafish retina and pineal complex: differential specialisation after the teleost tetraploidisation.
identifed cis-regulatory elements in upstream promoter region of the TalphaC gene; found PRE-1 is a novel cis-regulatory module that is sufficient to enhance initiation of photoreceptor-specific gene expression in differentiating rod and cone photoreceptors
Title: PRE-1, a cis element sufficient to enhance cone- and rod- specific expression in differentiating zebrafish photoreceptors.
analysis of an evolutionarily conserved enhancer of cone photoreceptor-specific expression
Title: A novel, evolutionarily conserved enhancer of cone photoreceptor-specific expression.
Ca2+ also regulates the extent of phosphorylation of unbleached cone pigments. Immunocytochemical analyses revealed that neither light nor cytoplasmic Ca2+ influences the localization of transducin in zebrafish cones.
Title: Visual pigment phosphorylation but not transducin translocation can contribute to light adaptation in zebrafish cones.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
