|
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 nuclei and inner segments of the rod and cone photoreceptor cells.
|
Top Pathways |
Olfactory transduction, Phototransduction, Purine metabolism
