| Function |
Probably plays a specific functional role in the rods and/or cones of photoreceptors. It may be the enzyme involved in the resynthesis of cGMP required for recovery of the dark state after phototransduction.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Retina. Localized exclusively in the outer nuclear layer and inner segments of the rod and cone photoreceptor cells.
|
| Top Pathways |
Phototransduction, Purine metabolism
