Also known as: GC-A; Gcap1; Guca1; mGCAP1
Summary: This gene encodes a calcium-binding photoreceptor protein. The encoded protein may be involved in modulation of guanylyl cyclase activity, and in turn, the mammalian cone phototransduction cascade. Disruption of this gene results in the retinal degeneration associated with cone dystrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

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.
